Arsenal have reached an agreement with Granit Xhaka to join the club on a

League qualification in the past two seasons.

"I’m very proud to be joining Arsenal. I cannot wait to move to London,
represent this special club and play in the Premier League. I will give
everything to help Arsenal win trophies and make the fans happy."

我會盡其所能幫助槍手贏取獎盃，也讓粉絲開心～

Xhaka, who has made 41 international appearances for Switzerland, joined
Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012 from his hometown club FC Basel where he
spent 10 years, progressing through the youth ranks.

During his time with Basel, Xhaka won two Swiss League titles and the Swiss
Cup in a Double-winning season in 2011/12.

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.”

Xhaka has completed his medical and will join up with his new team-mates
after Euro 2016.

The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes, with Xhaka
’s contract with Arsenal commencing on July 1, 2016.

Everyone at Arsenal looks forward to welcoming Granit to the club in July.
