Arsenal will offer Granit Xhaka as bait to land Borussia Monchengladbach’s midfield sensation Denis Zakaria.
The Swiss has been in superb form for the German club who currently occupy top spot in the Bundesliga.
They are fighting off interest from several of European football’s big-hitters for the 22-year-old.
Xhaka is set to leave the Gunners in January after a public falling-out with the club which has seen him stripped of the captaincy.
Steve Bruce would take the Swiss international on Tyneside but a move back to the club where he made his name will appeal to the midfielder.
Any deal would depend on Arsenal having first refusal on Zakaria next summer if Monchengladbach decide to cash in.

Xhaka is not the problem at arsenal, Emery is the problem so sack him.. and leave Xhaka alone.. Let me know something, is Xhaka the only player on arsenal team who had done this???? You guys 're behaving wrong to xhaka.. if this deal is done!! who is Zakaria in the first place? this decision is very very wrong because Xhaka is 100 time better then Zakaria.. Emery who don't have any managerial skills.. and doesn't even know when to change players in and out, he have no idea how to matain his space or position on the table.. ( look at this again, because it is very unimaginable, how can real coach draw 4 to 5 important games in role.. How?? you guys have to think better, if Xahka is going then Emery needs to go as well.. because he is the main disease. Draw with Aston villa, Norwich, crystal palace, Liverpool, and you should need them.. so my question is.. Xhaka and Coach Emery who have the power to control the movement and taticts of players order to matain to goal to had already been score??? 4 to 5 time we draw! I keep thinking how he won this job, by even one of your five games you won??? Mr Emery.
