Kante and Mkhitaryan to Follow Xhaka to Arsenal?
Leicester City’s defensive midfielder, N’Golo Kante and Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, are looking likely to be the next Arsenal signings according to The Evening Standard.
It has been well documented that Arsenal are interested in Kante after having such an impressive season with Champions Leicester City. Arsene Wenger has been sending Arsenal scouts to watch the Frenchman play a few times this season and is obviously keen to make the player his second midfield signing of the season after Granit Xhaka was announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Borussia Dortmund’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan also looks like a deal that could happen, after numerous rumours and debate have been surrounding the player in the German media.
The Armenian His current contract runs out next summer, and he has not offered signed a new deal as of yet. A sizeable fee could well force Dortmund to sell the Armenian rather than let him go on a free next summer.
The signing of Granit Xhaka, in which the deal is in the region of £33 million , signals a statement of intent from Arsene Wenger, who will be hoping he can lure in these two players before the new Premier League season begins.
