After a mixed career at Arsenal, Granit Xhaka has made the decision to depart the club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Swiss international, who has experienced both highs and lows during his time with the Gunners, has chosen to embark on a new chapter in his career.
Xhaka, who arrived at Arsenal in 2016, has featured in 290 games for the club. However, his tenure was not without controversy, as he was stripped of the captaincy under former manager Unai Emery. Despite the setbacks, Xhaka remained committed to the team and made significant contributions on the field.
According to The Mail, the 30-year-old midfielder is set to sign for Bayer Leverkusen in the summer. The deal will reportedly span four years, providing Xhaka with the desired combination of guaranteed playing time and financial security in his next contract.
Xhaka’s departure will undoubtedly leave a void in Arsenal’s squad, especially considering his exceptional performances this season, helping the Gunners put in a strong challenge for the Premier League title.
