Switzerland international Granit Xhaka has been a long term target for Arsenal and is close to signing for them
|
Arsenal are set to make their first signing of the summer as Arsene Wenger prepares to land Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Switzerland midfielder arrived in London for a
medical on Thursday night and is ready to complete a move to the Gunners for a fee in the region of £35million.
Although Xhaka is ready for a medical at the north London club, Sportsmail understands that talks over a fee between the clubs are still ongoing, with the 23-year-old's wages also still under discussion.

The Swiss international is one of Europe's most talented prospects and has previously admitted a move to the Premier League would be a dream.
'The Premier League is not my goal, but a childhood dream. It is a dream that could be fulfilled.
'As of now, I am still a Gladbach player,' he added. 'That might change in the next weeks, or it might not.'
Wenger's team failed to make one out-field signing last summer as they ended the Premier League campaign as runners-up to Leicester City, but the Gunners have acted quickly in the transfer window before Euro 2016 as they prepare to launch a title assault ahead of the new season.
