Photographs appearing to show Granit Xhaka posing as a new Arsenal player have been leaked.

The Switzerland international midfielder was reported to be in London earlier this week to undergo a medical with Arsenal in a clear sign his move to the north London club was on the verge of being completed.




Now the deal appears to be done as Xhaka has been snapped posing in an Arsenal kit. He has also been pictured outside the club with his family.

And in another blow to Arsenal, who are likely to be unhappy at the photographs leaking, Xhaka appears to be wearing the club's new kit.
 


Gladbach have been willing to sell Xhaka if his asking price is met and Arsenal look to have worked quickly to tie up a deal for the midfielder.
