Report claims that Swiss midfielder wants to finalise move to Emirates
Granit Xhaka is reported to have already agreed terms with Arsenal ‘in principle’.
The 23-year-old has long been linked with a move to the Emirates, but now the details look to be getting thrashed out.
Bleacher Report UK now claim a deal has been done for the personal terms, but there is some way to go over the transfer fee.

It is believed that Borussia Moenchengladbach are currently asking in excess of £30million for Xhaka, who is widely regarded as one of the best young midfielders in German football.
Arsenal sources have also confirmed to HITC Sport that there is a strong interest in the player, but would not comment on claims that the player has agreed terms on the move – but did confirm that Arsene Wenger is unlikely to pay their current asking price.
Wenger bolstered his midfield in January with the signing of Mohamed Elneny from Basel, but he is clearly looking for further options.
