Arsene Wenger desperate to bolster midfield this summer

Arsenal will offer Granit Xhaka a contract worth around £120k-a-week, according to reports.

The Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder has been heavily linked with leaving the Bundesliga this summer, with Premier League duo Arsenal and Liverpool both interested in signing him.

However, reports emerged yesterday that the Gunners were in the lead to sign him after Arsene Wenger held personal talks with him.

Arsenal are expected to have a busy summer, with the board demanding Wenger to spend big, and with a trio of midfielders set for the exit door at the Emirates Stadium, Xhaka would be the ideal signing.

Three Out/One In

The North London club are expecting to release Mathieu Flamini, Mikel Arteta and Tomas Rosicky at the end of the season, meaning they are short of options in the centre of the park.

Xhaka is Wenger’s number-one target, and according to reports in Germany, he could trigger the midfielder’s release clause, which stands at £33.8million.

Arsenal could also offer the Swiss international a contract worth around £120k-a-week, making him one of their highest paid players.
