Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has held transfer talks with the representatives of Arsenal midfielder, Granit Xhaka, according to reports.
The 31-year-old Swiss international has been linked with a move to the French capital, with the Ligue 1 champions reportedly looking to bolster their midfield options.
Background
PSG have confirmed a new signing from Arsenal, with reports suggesting that the deal is worth a reported £25 million.
The move would be a surprise departure for Xhaka, who has been a key player for the Gunners since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016.
Reaction
Xhaka’s representatives have confirmed that talks have taken place, but no agreement has been reached.
‘We have had discussions with PSG, but nothing has been agreed,’ a spokesperson for Xhaka said.
What it means
The transfer would be a significant blow to Arsenal, who are struggling to find consistency in the Premier League this season.
Xhaka has been a key player for the Gunners, scoring 12 goals and providing 15 assists in 104 appearances.
Up next
Arsenal travel to Old Trafford next Sunday, kick-off 4:30pm BST.
