Breaking Down What Granit Xhaka Wlll Bring to Arsenal

In the past, Arsenal have been criticised for dragging their heels in the transfer window. The Gunners are clearly determined to avoid that this year, as Arsene Wenger is already on the verge of completing a major deal.

According to John Cross of the Mirror, Arsenal are on the precipice of announcing the third biggest signing in their history—Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Cross wrote: "Arsenal expect to announce the £30m signing of Granit Xhaka in the next 48 hours.

"The deal has been agreed, medical passed and even publicity photos done but they rushed it through at the weekend to allow the midfielder to join up with Switzerland’s Euro 2016 squad.
