Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea look set to battle it out for the signature for Schalke’s star winger Jefferson Farfan, who will be out of contract in the summer.
The 27-year old is highly unlikely to renew his contract at the German club, as Schalke is unable to meet the winger’s wage demands. He will hence be a free agent and will be free to negotiate with other clubs.
There has been reported interest in the former PSV Eindhoven attacker, with Juventus and Inter Milan closely monitoring the situation. But Farfan’s native, Peru’s local newspaper Trome claim that English sides Arsenal and Chelsea are leading the chase to land him.
If Schalke wish to gain anything of the £8 million they spent for him initially, they would prefer to allow him to leave now for Russia, as the transfer window there does not shut till February 24. Rubin Kazan and Zenit St. Petersburg are also in the frame to get Farfan.
If the Russian deal does not go through, then Schalke will be set to lose him for nothing.
