Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka ready to join Bayer Leverkusen

Arsenal's Granit Xhaka has committed to leaving the club in the summer transfer window.

The Swiss international is calling time on a mixed career for the Gunners, which saw both highs and lows.

Xhaka, who played 290 games for the club since arriving in 2016, was once stripped of the captaincy under boss Unai Emery.

Per The Mail, he is ready for the next chapter, as he will sign for Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.

Xhaka will get a four year deal, with the 30-year-old wanting guaranteed playing time and financial security from his next contract.

The midfielder will be missed, given he has been outstanding this term and redeemed himself with the fanbase.
