Xhaka seems to be aware of Mourinho’s desire to sign him, and Roma are also said to be growing in confidence about getting the deal done.
Arsenal are also more open to letting the 28-year-old leave the Emirates Stadium now that they have new signing Albert Sambi Lokonga in midfield.
The signing of the Belgian youngster was officially announced yesterday and looks like a fine piece of business to strengthen what had been a problem position for Mikel Arteta after the inconsistent form of Xhaka and others.
