Arsenal close in on Xhaka signing

Arsenal are reported agreed personal terms with Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka ahead of a summer move to the club. The Gunners have been long-time admirers of the Swiss international.

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 £25m to land the former Basel graduate.

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