Arsenal are still in negotiations over a price for Xhaka
Xhaka is a summer target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and the 23-year-old has been open about his desire for the deal not to drag on into Euro 2016.
And the Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder has revealed that no progress had yet been made on the deal despite the deadline he had set.
“It’s an honour for me,” Xhaka added.
“It’s a reward from my hard work.”
“If anything changes in the next few days, be sure we’ll let you know.”
