Granit Xhaka's move to Roma 'hits a roadblock with the Italians unable to agree a fee with Arsenal' for the midfielder as Jose Mourinho faces frustration in his Serie A rebuild

Roma's pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has reportedly hit a roadblock, with the two clubs unable to agree a fee.

Xhaka has been the subject of interest from Roma throughout the transfer window but Roma are currently unwilling to match Arsenal's demands of a £17m fee, according to La Stampa.

Roma have reportedly agreed personal terms with the 28-year-old but a deal for him to join Jose Mourinho's side has been put on hold for now.
