Arsenal have delved into the transfer market for a new midfielder.
The Gunners have signed Swiss international Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year old was pictured in an Arsenal kit, which went viral on social media at the weekend.
Xhaka skippered Monchengladbach to fourth place in the Bundesliga last season- and to Champions League qualification for the past two seasons.
He will join up with his new team-mates in July after Euro 2016.
