Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has married long-term partner Leonita Lekaj in a lavish ceremony.

Xhaka broke the news of his engagement last April and has now tied the knot as the pair took to social media to show pictures of their big day.

The Swiss international posted a picture with his bride on his Instagram page with the caption 'Mr and Mrs'.

Xhaka was certainly dressed for the occasion wearing a colourful blue outfit, while his new wife looked stunning in a long white dress.

The 24-year-old met Leonita when he was playing for Borussia Monchengladbach and both come from a Kosovo Albanian family.

Leonita stole the limelight at Euro 2016 when she was pictured in the crowd supporting Xhaka during Switzerland's campaign.

The £30m signing will be looking forward to meeting up with his Arsenal team-mates and new club record signing Alexandre Lacazette when he returns for pre-season training.

Xhaka enjoyed a memorable end to the campaign after helping his side win the FA Cup and will be hoping to cement his place in the Gunners side as they look to challenge for the title once again.
