With more deals likely to concluded before the transfer window closes, there will be many signings fighting to be the best one.

No one will actually know which club did the best bit of business until the end of next season, but you don't always have to be a household name or cost a fortune, as Leicester found with N'Golo Kante and West Ham with Dimitri Payet.

However, Arsene Wenger is one of those managers that knows what he likes when he sees it. If the price is right and the player will fit seamlessly into his existing squad, Wenger will sign him.

After the backlash from Arsenal fans last summer, when the Frenchman only signed one player, Wenger looks as though he is willing to spend a bit more this time around as he searches for quality.

In Granit Xhaka, he may have found just that. Signed from Borussia Monchengladbach for an initial £33.8m, Xhaka captained the German side to fourth place in the Bundesliga last season and Champions League qualification in the past two seasons.

Xhaka signed a five-year deal and becomes the third most expensive player in the club's history, after Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The 23-year-old has made 44 international appearances for Switzerland, most recently in the EUROs and joined Gladbach in 2012 from Basel, where he spent 10 years progressing through their youth ranks. Speaking to Arsenal.com, Wenger said: “Granit Xhaka is an exciting young player, already with good Champions League and Bundesliga experience. We have been watching him for a long time now and he is a player who will add quality to our squad." The Switzerland international had indicated a desire to move to England with Arsenal looking to bolster their central midfield ranks with both Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini released. The midfielder is known for his tackling, fitness and feisty character, and he should add some much-needed steel to the Gunners' line-up next season. He has had his fair share of red cards as well, so Wenger will need to attempt to control the player's temperament. So what exactly will Arsenal get for their money, which in today's terms isn't a lot for such an experienced player, yet at the age with so much potential to develop further? One of the jewels of Swiss football since his teenage years, Xhaka's idol was Zinedine Zidane, but former national team boss Ottmar Hitzfeld likened him to a "young Schweinsteiger" instead. Once nicknamed 'Little Einstein' due to his passion for science, Xhaka is intelligent in possession, composed on the ball, and kept things ticking over for Gladbach with an 85% pass completion percentage last season - the second best record in the team. He consistently ranked in the top 30 Bundesliga players for tackles and interceptions per game, but that combative style has landed him in disciplinary trouble too, with Xhaka leading the league for red cards (three) and second for fouls per game (2.6). He doesn't score many, just three last season, but when he does they're usually stunners. Xhaka has won Gladbach's Goal of the Year each of the last two years, first for his free-kick against Villarreal in the Europa League in 2014, and last year for his derby winner against Cologne. Xhaka will slot into central midfield and could perhaps be the first-team replacement to Francis Coquelin, or even Mohamed Elneny, who only joined the club in January. Former Bayern Munich and Switzerland manager Hitzfeld once said: "Xhaka certainly has the quality to prevail. I am convinced that he still has a great career ahead of him. He is a leader, a player who is responsible and self-confident." Arsenal appear to have a potentially world class player on their hands. Under Wenger's guidance not only will he make an immediate impact, but will do so for many seasons to come. [ad_pod id='playwire' align='center'] [ad_pod id='1617-transfers' align='center']
