The Gunners are looking at replacements for the Switzerland international, who could soon be a Roma player
Arsenal and Roma are stepping up talks over a deal for Granit Xhaka, with the Gunners eyeing Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves as a possible replacement.
Discussions have been going on between the clubs for the past fortnight but have yet to reach a successful conclusion for the Switzerland international.
There is a hope between all sides, however, that a deal is a close - with Arsenal open to letting their former captain leave as part of their planned summer overhaul of Mikel Arteta’s squad.
