Arsenal’s key midfielder Granit Xhaka will leave Arsenal this summer.
Chris Wheatley, whose public confidence in Arsenal has been respected, said on the 16th (Korean time), “Zaka is expected to leave Arsenal this summer after seven years of dedication to the club. there is,” he said.
Xhaka is a midfielder from Switzerland. He can provide a midfield lubricant with his powerful and precise left foot, he is not prone to injuries and is physically strong enough to appear in almost every game for his team.
Arsenal had its ups and downs in the early days. Upon entering the Emirates Stadium in 2016, Xhaka immediately became a key part of the team, but was criticized by Arsenal fans for his lack of defensive ability to cover up his above-mentioned strengths. He once captained the club, but was even stripped of the captaincy for throwing the armband.
However, he was resurrected under Arteta. Coach Arteta gave Xaka a foothold to play more aggressively while reducing the burden on defense. As a result, Xhaka entered a new heyday, and this season he stood tall as a pillar of the team, appearing in 45 matches in all competitions and recording 7 goals and 7 assists.
However, there is a possibility that he will leave the team at the end of this season. Locally, there had been reports that Zaka would take on a new challenge after the end of the season. According to England’s ‘London World’, the current contract is until June 2024, but manager Arteta will approve Zaka’s transfer if an appropriate amount is presented.
Even more disappointing was the lack of a military leader this season. Xhaka has been one of the key players in Arsenal’s rise throughout the league and across all competitions. However, the team’s energy level dropped in the second half and faltered, and in the end, the championship was virtually frustrated by giving away first place to Manchester City in the league.
The club currently interested in Xaka is Germany’s Bayer 04 Leverkusen. As Zaka is also eager to return to the Bundesliga, it is expected that the transfer will proceed smoothly if a good proposal comes.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is planning to focus on strengthening the midfield in the upcoming summer. Currently, local media reports are coming out that they are trying to sign West Ham’s Declan Rice and Brighton’s Moises Caicedo at the same time. 토스카지노
