It appears Granit Xhaka’s time at Arsenal could be coming to an end. The Swiss international is reported to be house hunting in Milan, with a move to the Rossoneri seemingly on the cards it’s unclear what Arsenal will demand for the player who they signed for £40.5m back in July 2016.
According to Transfermarkt.com, the players current market value is £36m but these supporters believe the club will struggle to recuperate the funds they spent convincing Borussia Monchengladbach to part-ways with the player.

What do we think?
There’s no doubt the recent on-goings will have an impact on the price Arsenal are able to demand for the player’s services. The relationship between Xhaka and the club appears to be untenable and so any potential suitors are aware both parties are desperate for a sale.
That should, in theory, drive the price down and with AC Milan still under the Financial Fair Play spotlight, if that is to be his destination, Arsenal could be looking at a cut-price deal.
