Granit Xhaka moves to Arsenal from Borussia Monchengladbach

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach.

Sky sources reported at the weekend that Xhaka was in the process of completing the move for a fee in the region of £30m - Arsenal's third-most expensive transfer.

Xhaka subsequently completed his medical and will join up with his new team-mates after Euro 2016, where he is expected to star for Switzerland.

The 23-year-old has been among the outstanding central-midfield performers in the Bundesliga in recent seasons.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Granit is an exciting young player, already with good Champions League and Bundesliga experience.

"We have been watching him for a long time now and he is a player who will add quality to our squad.
