Reports in Germany admit deal is likely to happen

Liverpool have lost the race to sign Granit Xhaka, according to reports in Germany, as it’s claimed he is ‘likely’ to join Arsenal.

The Swiss international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with both Arsenal and Liverpool battling for his signature.

The midfielder has had an impressive season for Borussia Monchengladbach, and because of his form, he was consistently linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club.

According to reports, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has already met with Xhaka‘s representatives, and is ready to pay around ÂŁ35million for the 23-year-old.

The Gunners could also offer Xhaka a contract worth around ÂŁ120k-a-week, making him one of the club’s highest paid earners.

According to Bild, Arsenal are ‘likely’ to beat Liverpool to Xhaka this summer, meaning he will become their first marquee signing of the summer.

Wenger needs to bring some midfielders to the Emirates Stadium this season with Mathieu Flamini, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta all set to leave the club.
