Arsenal and Liverpool will reportedly battle for the signature of unsettled Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both thought to be plotting bids for Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.

According to German newspaper Bild, the 23-year-old is keen to move on from Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of the season and is considering his options.

"At the moment I prefer not to say too much," Xhaka's father Ragip said. "We'll see what happens. I can say that several big clubs are interested. Everything is possible, we're not ruling anything out."

Xhaka has a price tag of around £37m, which would represent the Reds' most expensive ever signing ahead of the £35m paid for Andy Carroll in 2011.

Bayern Munich, Napoli and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be monitoring the situation.
