Arsenal reach Xhaka agreement

21 May 2016 - 03:43

Arsenal look set to secure the services of Granit Xhaka this month after they finalized a transfer fee with Borussia Monchengladbach. The Swiss international has been on the Gunners radar since the start of the year.

  • Chelsea ready to pay £87m for Spanish striker?
  • Chelsea want to sign Nuno Tavares?

  • Recent speculation claimed that the Gunners could stall on their bid to sign the midfielder with Gladbach reluctant to come down on their £35m asking price.

    However, according to BBC Sport, the North London giants have managed to negotiate a £30m sum, and the player has flown to the English capital to finalize terms and undergo a medical scheduled on Saturday.

    Xhaka will add a much needed boost to the Gunners' midfield which has been depleted by the departures of Mikel Arteta, and Tomas Rosicky.

    The 23-year-old amassed over 130 appearances during his time at Gladbach.
