Wolfsburg left-back Ricardo Rodriguez has claimed he would be excited to unite with international team-mate Granit Xhaka at Arsenal.

The German press has claimed that Arsenal are among the clubs considering activating a buyout clause in Rodriguez's contract reported to be worth £19million.

When asked by Tagesanzeiger whether he would like to join up with Xhaka, who he shares a room with in the Swiss national team, Rodriguez said: "That would be exciting, yes, especially because the room arrangement at Arsenal would be fixed as well."

Rodriguez added that remaining at Wolfsburg this summer would be "not impossible but unrealistic", with the German side having missed out on European football following an eighth place finish in the Bundesliga.
