Arsenal sporting director Edu has thanked Granit Xhaka for his contributions to the club after the Swiss international's transfer to Bayer Leverkusen was announced.
Xhaka joined the Gunners from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach back in the summer of 2016. Since then, he has gone on to feature 297 times for the north Londoners, scoring 23 times and providing 29 assists - winning two FA Cups in the process.
After Leverkusen and Arsenal both announced the deal on social media, transfer chief Edu wished the 30-year-old well whilst heaping praise on him for his time at the Emirates Stadium. "Granit has been a big part of our club for a long time", the Brazilian told the club's official media team.
