Roma 'will attempt to sign Granit Xhaka AGAIN this summer as midfielder emerges as Jose Mourinho's No 1 target'... with Serie A side failing to match Arsenal's valuation in 2021

Roma will reportedly head back in for Granit Xhaka with the Arsenal midfielder emerging as Jose Mourinho's No 1 summer target.

The Serie A side were interested throughout last summer's window in the 29-year-old Switzerland international, but ultimately failed to agree a fee with the Gunners.

The former Borussia Moenchengladbach star went on to sign a new deal in north London in August, which will take him through until 2024 with the option of another year.
