After Lyon thwarted them in their efforts to sign Lyon’s Lucas Tousart, Jurgen Klinsmann’s side have turned their attention to the Arsenal midfielder, who has reportedly fallen out of favour at the club after a combination of poor performances and off-field issues.
Mikel Arteta is a big fan of the former club captain and the Swiss international was reportedly among the candidates being considered when Manchester City were on the lookout for a midfielder. Although the Spaniard would like Xhaka to stay at the club, it is believed that he will not stand in his way if the 27-year-old has his heart set on a return to Germany.
Hertha Berlin’s offer is a six-month loan deal with an option to purchase the player for €30 million in the summer and it remains to be seen if the three parties reach an agreement in the coming days.
