Arsenal are unlikely to get a substantial fee for Xhaka due to his contract situation and him turning 31 later this year. He has made 295 appearances for the north London club since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016.
This year has been his best return of goals and assists, with a combined 12 in the Premier League. Arteta refused to discuss rumours over Xhaka’s future but paid tribute to his season so far.
Speaking last week, Arteta said: “As you can understand I’m not going to be replying to certain stories. I’m extremely happy with Granit, I think he’s having an incredible season, probably the best season he’s had at the club. We are really happy to have him.”
