Bayer Leverkusen is confident that they will secure the signing of Granit Xhaka from Arsenal before the start of the upcoming season. While Xhaka had arguably his best season at Arsenal last year, he is still being linked with a move away from the club.
Although Arsenal would prefer to retain the Swiss international for another season, it appears increasingly likely that he will depart. While there was speculation that Xhaka’s desire to return to Germany was motivated by his wife, he denied those rumours. However, his departure from the Emirates Stadium remains a possibility.
Inside Futbol reports that Bayer Leverkusen believes they don’t need to rush in their pursuit of Xhaka as they are confident he will join them before the start of the new season. Leverkusen is determined to establish itself as one of the top clubs in Germany, and they see Xhaka as a player who can contribute significantly to achieving that goal.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Xhaka was in superb form last season, but the midfielder is not getting younger and now is the time for us to build for the future instead of giving new deals to older players.
Several younger midfielders will replace him and offer long-term value to us as a team if we sign them instead.
Now the season is over, it’s time for the summer Arsenal quiz from our friends at Dublin Arsenal – It’s always a laugh and helps while away the time while we wait for Arsenal’s first signings to come in!

£20 million is a fare price for an international captain.good luck to a loyal servent to Arsenal.
Take your own sweet time to make your decision son, Family is everything.
The biggest mistake a man could make is giving another man the opportunity to make his woman happy.
He was the bravest of Arsenal players who have his all in the fifth fifth challenges where he would back down the opposition but no more hence the name X-haka. He is still an international captain who still scores goals from midfield hence his brace against Wolves scoring two goals to end his season. Worth every penny of the £20 million pound asking price. Arsenal always sell cheap, any other team would ask for more, for a goal scoring international midfielder, but Arsenal are not good at selling players.Good luck Xhaka.
