In a major transfer development, Arsenal Football Club has accepted an offer of £22 million from Bayer Leverkusen for their talented midfielder, Granit Xhaka. This deal represents a significant increase from the initial £13 million bid made by the Bundesliga side, demonstrating their determination to secure his services.
Xhaka, who joined Arsenal from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016, will now embark on a return to Germany as he seeks new challenges in his career. The 30-year-old departs after having arguably his most impressive season at the Emirates Stadium, contributing seven goals and seven assists in the highly competitive Premier League.
With Xhaka’s departure, Arsenal is actively seeking a replacement from West Ham United, setting their sights on the talented captain, Declan Rice. The club is reportedly close to completing a staggering £105 million move for the 22-year-old English midfielder as they look to strengthen their midfield options.
This transfer will mark a significant shift in Arsenal’s squad dynamics, as well as provide an opportunity for Xhaka to excel in a new environment. Fans will be eagerly anticipating the club’s next moves in the transfer market, as they seek to build a formidable team capable of challenging for silverware in the seasons ahead.
