Arsenal encouraging Roma to go higher for Xhaka

Arsenal are encouraging Roma to go higher to land Granit Xhaka.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Arsenal will not let Xhaka leave the club for anything less than £17m.

The Swiss midfielder has been linked with a move to Roma and looks set to join the Italian club this summer.

But the Gunners are standing firm over their valuation of the 28-year-old, whom they bought for £30m in 2016.

Roma offered £15m for Xhaka last week.
