Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is set to delay the sale of Granit Xhaka this summer.

The veteran Swiss midfielder is expected to sign for Bayer Leverkusen, having already posted a goodbye to Gunners' fans on social media.'

However, Kicker says Arteta intends to stall the sale until he has a replacement signed.

Arsenal are willing to sell Xhaka for €10-15m, but any deal will now be dependent on a replacement being found.

Xhaka, 30, has a year to run on his current deal.
