Report: Granit Xhaka in line for permanent captaincy at Arsenal

According to Daily Star, Switzerland international midfielder Granit Xhaka is a candidate for the permanent captaincy at Arsenal with Laurent Koscielny likely to leave this summer and Petr Cech gone.

The 26-year-old has been linked with both Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid this summer, but the La Liga giants are already closing on a £35 million move for Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente instead, while the Serie A side are yet to table a bid.

The Gunners star has four years left to run on his contract at the Emirates Stadium and isn’t keen on leaving this summer.
