Fine with me! Madrid boss Mourinho happy for Sahin to complete loan to Arsenal
Posted Saturday, August 04, 2012 by Dailymail
Jose Mourinho has given his blessing to Nuri Sahin's proposed loan move to Arsenal.
The Real Madrid boss admits he cannot guarantee the Turkish international regular first-team football at the Bernabeu next season.
Sahin only moved to the Spanish champions for £8million a year ago after helping Borussia Dortmund to the league title in Germany as player of the season.

However he barely featured as Madrid surged to La Liga glory, and Arsenal are ready to rescue him from his nightmare.
The Gunners are short of options in the deep-lying playmaker role with Jack Wilshere's knee and ankle injuries continuing to prevent the England star from playing again after a year out.
'The point is, he's a young boy, he wants to play every match,' Mourinho said after Real Madrid thrashed LA Galaxy 5-1 on their pre-season tour of the USA. 'He wants to be happy to play, he wants to play to be happy.
'And in Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso, with [Sami] Khedira, with Lassana [Diarra], [Esteban] Granero, [Mesut] Ozil, the situation is not easy.
