Mikel Arteta said he wants Granit Xhaka to stay at Arsenal despite interest from Hertha Berlin.

"He played at Bournemouth, he played really well, he was very committed, he played a really good game. After the game he started to feel ill. He had a temperature and he wasn’t feeling good. The last two days he was in bed. That’s why he wasn’t selected [against Chelsea]," said Arteta.

Xhaka was stripped of his captaincy earlier in the season.

Roma are in talks to be bought by the Friedkin Group lead by billionaire Dan Friedkin, the club confirmed.

Roma has been valued at $840 million, a record valuation for a Serie A side.

Current owner James Pallotta purchased the club in 2012. The current ownership group has been frustrated with a stalled project over building a new stadium in Rome.

Granit Xhaka has agreed to terms with Hertha Berlin and his agent is pushing for a move during the January window.

Xhaka was stripped of his Arsenal captaincy in November.

"Let's say it like it is: we have agreed terms with Hertha Berlin and would like to go there," Jose Noguera told Swiss outlet Blick. "That's what we told Arsenal club boss Raul Sanllehi and sporting director Edu Gaspar, as well as the new manager Mikel Arteta."

Mikel Arteta has agreed to a contract with Arsenal through the 2023 season, according to reports.

The official press conference is expected tomorrow.
