"I'm delighted that Granit has extended his contract with us. He's an important member of the squad and is still young so will be able to develop even more," Arsenal's new manager Unai Emery told the club's website https://www.arsenal.com.

Xhaka, who has 62 international caps, is expected to start in Switzerland's World Cup Group E opener against five-times champions Brazil on Sunday.
