Transfer: Arsenal accept £22million offer to sell Xhaka

Arsenal midfielder, Granit Xhaka, is set to leave the club with Bayer Leverkusen ready to pay significantly more for the midfielder.

According to Football.London, the Bundesliga side will pay a £21.5million fee, which is significantly higher than the £13million they initially offered.

Xhaka, who joined the Gunners from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016, is now set to seal a return to Germany.

The 30-year-old leaves after arguably his best season at the Emirates Stadium, in which he contributed seven goals and seven assists in the Premier League.

He is expected to be replaced by West Ham captain, Declan Rice.

Arsenal are very close to completing a £105m move for Rice.
