Xeka has made a decision over a potential switch to Arsenal. The Portuguese midfielder has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, having become a free agent after leaving Lille in the summer.
The link comes amid an injury crisis for Mikel Arteta to deal with, having lost both Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny in a short space of time. This led the Spaniard to make a late move for Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz in the market, eventually missing out on his addition.
On the late attempt, Arteta said: "We did business pretty early but unfortunately in the last 72 hours, Thomas [Partey] got injured in the same place he got injured last time and then Mo [Mohamed Elneny] has a long-term injury and we had to react in the market.
