Xhaka closer to Arsenal exit

Granit Xhaka is ready to leave Arsenal.

That's according to BILD's football chief Christian Falk.

He told The Sun: "Xhaka's contract runs out in 2024. Leverkusen have already had concrete talks with the Arsenal player last summer but, at that time, the club asked for £26m, which was too much for Leverkusen.

"Now, they've heard about a price tag is £13m and this would be doable for Leverkusen."

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta talked up the prospect of Xhaka staying next season.
