Granit Xhaka: 'Move to Arsenal a dream come true'

New Arsenal recruit Granit Xhaka says that he is "very happy" to have finally made a switch to the Emirates Stadium following weeks of speculation.

Granit Xhaka has confessed that joining Arsenal is a "dream move" after becoming the club's third most expensive signing of all time.

The Switzerland international, who last week reached an agreement to swap Borussia Monchengladbach for the Gunners, is thought to have cost around £30m.

Arsenal's first summer signing is now looking forward to getting his Emirates Stadium career up and running, following weeks of speculation surrounding his future.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: "I feel good, now I'm happy to be a Gunner. It's been a big week for me but now it's official and I'm very happy. Arsenal is a big club. I've seen the pitch, it's unbelievable. It was a dream for me and I'm happy now."

Before linking up with his new Arsenal teammates, Xhaka will first take part in the European Championship finals in France next month.
