Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a deal to sign Granit Xhaka from Arsenal.

The fee that will take the midfielder from north London to the Bundesliga is worth €25m.

Xhaka – who made 297 appearances across SEVEN SEASONS for the Gunners – had entered the final year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium and turns 31 in September.

A formal announcement is expected in the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber will have their Arsenal medicals over the next 72 hours after deals were agreed with West Ham United and Ajax.

Personal terms for both players have been agreed in principle and both could be Arsenal players by the start of next week.
