German champions Bayern Munich have emerged as shock contenders to sign Arsenal star Granit Xhaka in the summer transfer window. That's according to Swiss outlet 4-4-2, who claim the perennial Bundesliga winners are showing concrete interest in landing the midfielder.
An offer is said to be prepared that would see Xhaka join on a three-year deal, with an option of an extra year added on top. The move from Thomas Tuchel to reinforce his central ranks could come as a boost to the Gunners, with interest shown from clubs elsewhere.
Bayer Leverkusen have been the strongest link in recent weeks, with Xabi Alonso hopeful of adding the Switzerland international to his squad. football.london understands that the German side were in advanced talks about a deal in May, with an offer of around £13million expected.
