Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Borussia Monchengladbach’s Swiss central midfielder Granit Xhaka.
The 23-year-old star will join the club after Euro 2016 for a fee believed to be around £35million, making him the third most expensive player in the club’s history, behind Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
