Arsenal to consider Xhaka, Eriksen swap?

Inter Milan may reportedly give Arsenal the option of swapping Granit Xhaka for Christian Eriksen.

Neither club are short of options in the middle of the pitch, something which has inevitably left some big names spending time on the substitutes' bench.

Although Xhaka and Eriksen have been provided with game time by Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte respectively, they are not regarded as first choice.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Conte would allow Eriksen to move to the Emirates Stadium if Xhaka was able to make the switch in the opposition direction.

If the clubs could reach an agreement, Eriksen would be left to decide whether he would be prepared to represent the Gunners, arch rivals of former club Tottenham Hotspur.

Rather than completing a straight swap deal, Arsenal would also be expected to pay a fee.
