Granit Xhaka 'offered the chance to join Bayer Leverkusen' with Arsenal looking to bring in winger Moussa Diaby as part of the deal

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has reportedly been offered the chance to join Bayer Leverkusen.

According to The Sun, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will not stand in Xhaka's way if he wants to depart.

Xhaka has been a key player for the Gunners this season as they have exceeded expectations by challenging for the Premier League title.

However, if he was to remain at Arsenal next season then the Switzerland international wouldn't be guaranteed a regular starting berth, especially if Declan Rice joins the Gunners from West Ham.

Xhaka possesses previous experience of playing in the Bundesliga from his time at Borussia Monchengladbach, who he played for between 2012 and 2016.
