Roma are increasingly close to Granit Xhaka, as both they and Arsenal hope to have the deal completed by the end of the week.

According to Calciomercato.it, the mood is positive and negotiations accelerating to get the terms locked down within days.

Meanwhile, TeleRadioStereo maintain Arsenal have decided to sell Xhaka quickly so they can turn their attention over to Ruben Neves of Wolves.

New Giallorossi coach Jose Mourinho specifically requested Xhaka, who will play against Italy for Switzerland at Euro 2020.

That game will be played at the Stadio Olimpico, where Roma and Lazio host their club football.
