Granit Xhaka is closing in on a transfer exit from Arsenal after a rollercoaster seven-year spell at the Emirates Stadium. Xhaka is in advanced talks to sign for Bayer Leverkusen in a €15million (£13million) deal and sign a contract until 2027 this summer, football.london understands.
However, the Swiss midfielder may not be the only departure from Mikel Arteta's squad ahead of next season. Following Oleksandr Zinchenko's arrival last summer and claiming the starting left-back spot, Kieran Tierney's future at Arsenal looks set to come to an end in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are looking to add new signings in a number of key areas ahead of their return to the Champions League next season. football.london reported in January that Arsenal are prioritising a move for West Ham star Declan Rice, whilst Moises Caicedo, Marc Guehi and Joao Cancelo have all been linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
