Bayer Leverkusen close to agreeing Xhaka terms with Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka's move to Bayer Leverkusen is back on.

The Switzerland international's switch had appeared in jeopardy over Arsenal's asking price.

However, The Sun says there has now been movement in the last 24 hours, with Bayer willing to go to £21.5m for the midfielder.

Xhaka's personal terms won't be a problem, with contract talks having been held before the end of last season.

He now has less than a year to run on his Gunners deal.
