Arsenal could hand a new deal to Granit Xhaka before the end of this year.
The midfielder signed an extension at the start of last season after serious interest in him from AS Roma.
He remained at the Emirates and has improved his game significantly.
He has been given a new role in Mikel Arteta’s system, and he is thriving now.
He has more attacking freedom and that has translated into goals and assists.
The older he gets, the better-performing he is becoming, and that is set to earn him a new deal.
A report on Football Insider says the Gunners plan to hold new talks with him over an extension when he returns from the World Cup in December.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Xhaka deserves the recognition he is getting now, and he remains a key player for us.
The midfielder is one of the most important members of our first team and we need to keep him in the group.
His experience and good leadership skills will help the club maintain its upward trajectory.
Hopefully, he will stay injury-free as he has done for most of his time at the Emirates so far.
If that happens, we have a key player helping to lead the team to glory.

I, support mikel arteta to please with xhaka to stay with us in Arsenal
Xhaka will celebrate E.P.L. title with arsenal 2022\2023 and 2023\2024 By God grace,if he stay
I do believe this is a bad move. We could finally recoup some money for him he isn’t getting any younger. We do have viera odegaard ESR Sambi we could go for a younger prospect of a better one. We have the chance to sign a power midfielder now that hid hope we will play champions league
Agreed ,time we started actually recouping money from sales to go towards better players ,Xhakas stock will be high come next summer and he isnt getting any younger and what’s to say he can have a mother good season , same as a few other players we have ATM
You need some senior players among all those young kids and I don’t think we could do much better atm with a younger player, if you watch xhaka playing for his national team you will see how special he is
Good move, imho, since playing further forward he’s been a revelation.
It is said a cow never know the use of it tail and until it loses it.
There was a time in the pass when fans never realized the importance of Xhaka until he was not in the team.
Now Xhaka presence is even more important to the team, to the point where if his performance continues on the same trajectory legendary status could be considered.
For a player that has been through so much most of it unnecessary, I would find it hard pressed to deny him of any benefits that might have comes his way.
If xhaka is legend every player on the invisibles even the bench players should be considered legends. You rating him over pores ljungberg? Lauren? We give him legends status with only fa cup and no seasons in champions league is just degrading to our club. You guys want to build him a statue next ?
That’s not true. In the past he wasn’t that good, and we didn’t miss him much when he was out of the team – depending of course on who was replacing him.
He’s playing differently now, much, much better, and he’s rightly being recognised for it.
Gooners note I didn’t say he should be given legendary status now but if he continues on the same trajectory in his performance.
Please note Xhaka is one of the most complete team player you will ever find, his contribution in this department is immense.
Why do you think from the legendary Wenger to our present gaffer didn’t drop him inspite of constant complaints by armchair managers and fans alike.
Xhaka is and was always the glue to the team it became clear as day the very few times he is absent.
I happen to work in a large manufacturing company and have seen first hand how significant a team player employee is,
Didn’t see this support when crowd booed eboue of the pitch. He didn’t cry ? Man we have so many players throughout our history not legends and u want to make xhaka one based on half a season? Let’s give Kolo toure his legendary badge
We all learnt, got stronger and wiser from a bad period
