Xhaka draws Juve interest after Euro performance

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has drawn interest from Juventus after his Man of the Match effort at Euro 2020 for Switzerland on Tuesday, claims Calciomercato.

Xhaka helped his nation shock France in the last 16, which in turn could make the Gunners more likely to get their €20 million asking price met.

Roma have been tracking the 28-year-old for the past month but may now need to fend off new suitors.
