Granit Xhaka’s move to German club Bayer Leverkusen seems to be moving fast and the Swiss captain could be playing in his last season for Arsenal.
Recent reports made it clear he is on the verge of joining Xabi Alonso’s side and Tuttomercatoweb has offered a new update on the development.
The report claims Xhaka is indeed considering an offer from the German side ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, it is far from a done deal, with the report stating the Switzerland captain has asked the Germans to give him more time to ponder on the move.
While his wife reportedly wants to return to Germany, it seems Xhaka is not so keen on leaving the Emirates at the moment.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Xhaka has had a good time on our books and this is probably the best time to move him on as we seek to rebuild the team.
The midfielder was an important player for us this season, but he is not getting any younger and we do not expect him to be in the squad forever.
We already have several midfield targets on our radar, so replacing him should not be much of a problem.

Take your own sweet time to make your decisions lad and do it in the intrest of you and your family.
Take it from me family is everything
Wrong! You want him to leave on deadline day and we struggle to get his replacement and falter till the Jan window. Would you like to have the season end in November like the good old day of the “greatest one”?
Agree family is everything and if the family decision is to move to Germany, catch the next flight and move. The club and fans cannot be held back in their processes and progress. Club above player. No players contributions are irreplaceable
Xhaka will no doubt also consider the distinct possibility that next season he may no longer be an automatic first choice in midfield if Arsenal are successful in their pursuit of Caicedo and Rice.
It might really look difficult to replace Xaka and too many changes can upset Arsenal’s development but if we have someone like Xavi simons who can also play Centrally or Rice and Caicedo, it may make sense. Personally I won’t let him go.
Xaka has only 1 weakness: too emotional in a bad sense. It’s why I don’t see him as a good coach.
One weakness? What about his lack of pace?
Ineasta , pirlo ,xavi they don’t have pace both the were good players.
I don’t think pace is weakness when someone plays as a midfielder.
