Arsenal confident of signing international midfielder: Star valued at £34m, Liverpool keen
ARSENAL are reportedly confident they will seal a deal to bring Granit Xhaka to the Emirates this summer.
Xhaka could end up at Arsenal or Liverpool this summer
Xhaka started his career in Switzerland with Basel but arrived at current club Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012.
And in Germany the 23-year-old has made his name as one of Europe's brightest midfield talents with more than 100 Bundesliga appearances.
This campaign he has helped guide Monchengladbach to fifth in the league and they are on course to qualify for the Europa League.
The German side value Xhaka at £34million and are holding out for an offer to match that while Arsenal are said to be unwilling to go above £30m.
And although that could create an opportunity for Liverpool to gazump the London club, the Gunners are said to have confidence that they will reach a compromise and land Xhaka before the end of the summer transfer window.
