Arsenal make Granit Xhaka transfer U-turn amid Bayer Leverkusen move

The future of Arsenal star Granit Xhaka may have taken a fresh twist, according to recent reports.

football.london reported last month that Xhaka was in advanced talks to sign for Bayer Leverkusen during this summer's transfer window in a deal worth €15million (£13million). The Swiss captain would be signing a contract with the Bundesliga outfit until 2027.

But now, the Mirror have claimed that the Gunners may have changed their stance, keen to fetch around £20million for the veteran midfielder instead. Mikel Arteta remains a huge fan of the 30-year-old, who arrived at the Emirates Stadium from Borussia Monchengladbach back in the summer of 2016.
