Arsenal signed Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka from Borussia Moenchengladbach on Wednesday (25th May).

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach.

Reports suggest that the transfer was completed for a fee in the region of £30m - which would make Xhaka Arsenal's third-most expensive signing.

Xhaka has since completed his medical and will join up with his new team-mates after Euro 2016, where he is expected to star for Switzerland.

The 23-year-old has been among the outstanding central-midfielders in the Bundesliga in recent seasons.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Granit is an exciting young player, who already has good Champions League and Bundesliga experience."

Xhaka joined Monchengladbach in 2012 from his hometown club FC Basel, where he spent 10 years progressing through the youth and senior ranks and won two Swiss titles.
