Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is on the brink of completing his transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, as reported. The Swiss international, with one year left on his Arsenal contract, is set to join Leverkusen for a fee of £21.5 million. Leverkusen initially offered £12 million but had to increase their offer to meet Arsenal's valuation. Xhaka has expressed his interest in a future managerial role, and Leverkusen sees him as a potential coach after his playing career. Xhaka's Instagram post with the caption "Thank you Gunners" suggests his farewell to Arsenal. Arsenal is nearing the signing of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice as a suitable replacement for Xhaka, with a potential transfer fee exceeding £100 million.
