Arsenal midfielder Xhaka in Germany for Bayer Leverkusen medical

Arsenal midfield star Granit Xhaka is closing in on a move away from the club this summer.

Per reports in Germany, Xhaka has already arrived in the nation to complete his move to Bayer Leverkusen.

The Swiss international is set to sign for Xabi Alonso's team on a multi-year contract.

Leverkusen have agreed a £21.5 million deal with Arsenal to secure the signature of the creative star.

Xhaka wanted security over his future this summer, as he does not want to play a bit part role at Arsenal next season.

The Gunners have all but signed Declan Rice from West Ham, who will take Xhaka's spot in the first team.
