After playing a significant role in Arsenal’s resurgence under Mikel Arteta, Granit Xhaka is finally poised to depart the club at the conclusion of this season.
The Swiss midfielder had been on the verge of leaving prior to Arteta’s appointment, but the manager successfully persuaded him to remain at the club.
Since then, Xhaka has been a consistent presence in the team. However, it appears that this season will mark his final stint with the Gunners as he edges closer to a transfer to Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen remains convinced that Xhaka will be a valuable addition to their squad. They have already submitted an offer for his signature and have reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with the player.
According to Sport Witness, the move is expected to be finalised in the coming days, with official announcements anticipated from both clubs and the midfielder himself.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Xhaka has divided opinion at the Emirates, but there is no shying away from the fact that he was a key player in this campaign.
Without him in that midfield making tackles and scoring some key goals, we probably would not have had as good a season as we have had this term.
We wish him the very best and he will always be welcomed if he returns to visit the Emirates.

Its a great move for all. It will be interesting what fee we get for him.
Transfer market gives him 28/29M value,but honestly anything close to 20 would be great.
Si 20 would be great seeing as we couldn’t give hime away last year for 10.
Xhaka said we will know before the last game of the season.i think that it is the right time for everyone.after the season he’s had,it can only go one way and it’s down because I don’t believe he has another gear up.also,we will not get a better fee for him after this summer.he should leave on a high,on his terms and not overstay.lastly, he’s proved many a people wrong.
👍
Might be the right time for him to move on, but he will certainly leave a hole in the team. Well liked in the room, leader, never injured, good vision and understanding of the game, tough and more passion than most – which unfortunately caused him some well documented issues, but sometimes that goes hand in hand. Hope we get someone that can bring similar qualities. We don’t have that guy right now. Forget ESR or playing Zinchenko in his role.
As Xhaka goes to Leverkusen we should arrange for Tapsoba in the opposite direction by tabling a £40 mill bid.
My thoughts exactly Gs.
