Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger spoke about his admiration towards the 23-year old and spoke about how he can change his team’s fortunes next year.

Arsène Wenger said: “Granit Xhaka 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. We wish Granit a good Euro 2016 with Switzerland and look forward to welcoming him to Arsenal ahead of next season,” he added.
