LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal's Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka has signed a new long-term contract, the Premier League club said on Friday. He has 61 caps for Switzerland and is part of their squad for the World Cup in Russia. Xhaka joined Arsenal from Borussia Moenchengladbach in 2016 after helping them to fourth place in the Bundesliga that season and two Champions League group-stage qualifications. "He’s an important member of the squad and is still young so will be able to develop even more. I hope he has a successful World Cup with Switzerland and comes back fit and ready for the new season."
