Borussia Monchengladbach have warned Arsenal off Granit Xhaka.

Xhaka has a release clause in his contract understood to be valued at £35million.

Director of sport Max Eberl told reporters: “Xhaka is our captain. That should be the case next season. There's no need to call us.

“We want to keep him. There are no discussions."

Xhaka, Borussia's club captain at just 23 years of age, has been an Arsenal target for several months along with the likes of Adrien Rabiot of Paris St Germain and Southampton's Victor Wanyama.
