Images of his Arsenal photoshoot have been leaked while reliable sources such as SkySports and the BBC are reporting that he will be signed soon for around £30 million, Wenger not messing around this summer.
We need a midfield general and here he is, he is a combination of both Cazorla and Coquelin. Has got great ball retention, is an aggressive tackler and can pick out a good pass from deep too. Can play DM or box to box.
He will probably be partnered by Ramsey in midfield with Xhaka controlling the game from deep and Ramsey being the one out of the two going forward more.
A top striker such as a Morata, Dybala, Ibra, Lacazette or Lukaku will do as well as a new centre back like Varane, Howedes or Manolas will allow us to mount a serious challenge next season.
What are your thoughts on Xhaka?
Granit Xhaka deal close to completion.

Don't know too much about him. But he sounds pretty good by all accounts, and will bring some qualities we are lacking.
Just hope this isn't wengers only big money deal. Desperately need a striker. We won't win the league without a clinical striker.

Higuaín had another buyer willing to outbid Arsenal. As of now Granit Xhaka doesn't seem to have any other serious buyer.

I'm half Swiss, half Croat, watched Xhaka since he started his career at Basel then at Mönchengladbach and for Swiss national team. He's very good at times, but and that is big but, his behavior and attitude are very often poor. We need somebody who's going to be a leader when things get tough and he is only aggressive, get red carded and the team suffer. If he's going to be successfull, he needs to learn to work hard, keep his head down and learn how to control his behavior.
