The Portuguese coach is eager to sign the Switzerland international after taking charge of the Serie A side
Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka says he is proud to have attracted admiring glances from Jose Mourinho amid Roma's interest in trying to sign him.
Despite playing an important role at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, the Switzerland international could be on his way out of London this summer.
He has just two years left on his contract and there have been no negotiations with the Gunners over a new deal.
