Xhaka had been linked with a potential switch to the Emirates in January, but Gladbach were not keen on losing their skipper midway through the domestic campaign.

Bleacher Reports now says the Gunners have finalized terms with the player's representative and a move will go through once the transfer window reopens in July.

Arsene Wenger's side are expected to pay a fee of around &pound25m to land the former Basel graduate.

The 23-year-old has made 32 appearances in all competitions for Gladbach this term.
