Arsenal star Granit Xhaka has broken his silence over a potential exit from the north London outfit this summer, having been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen. The Switzerland international has achieved his most productive season with the Gunners to date, with his more advanced role in Mikel Arteta's system allowing him to manage his best goal involvement return.
While there have been plenty of rocky years along the way, the 30-year-old has come full circle to being a cult hero at the club once again. However, an exit could spell a bitter sweet ending to the story, with the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium during the Wolves clash showing their appreciation to the midfielder.
"Well deserved. He’s had an incredible season," Arteta said in the post-Wolves press conference on the appreciation shown to Xhaka. !I think one year back I spoke to him and I told him ‘there’s a question mark on you, you have to deliver more, you have to be better, I’m going to challenge you to play here.’
