Turkish club Trabzonspor are the frontrunners to secure the services of Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira, according to a report.

The Super Lig club are prepared to offer the German a lucrative contract to ward off competition from the Premier League, the Daily Star reports.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have all been linked with Khedira, who has fallen behind Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the pecking order at Real.

Khedira is yet to sign a new contract at Real, with his existing deal due to expire this summer.
