£35m Arsenal man nearing exit, but Mikel Arteta wants replacement signed first
Arsenal won’t sell 𒅌Granit Xhaka this summer until they’ve signed a replacement for 🍰the Swiss international.
journalis✱t Florian Plettenberg, who provides more details on the 30-year-old’s future.
It’s a badly kept secret that Granit Xhaka looks set to leave Arsenal this summer.
🅰🍷He was seen waving to the crowd after the final Premier League match at The Emirates against Wolves.
Fans at the ground that day made thei♈r feelings clear that they didn’t want him to go.
After being in and out of favour at Arsenal, Xhaka has just enjoyed his ✅best season at💛 the club.
Not only in terms of his numbers – he contributed to more goals this season than any other – but as a leader in a new system under Mikel Arteta.
He was given license to play further up the pitch and thrived as a bo𒈔x-toꦿ-box midfielder.
Arsenal have shown how important Xhaka is to their system by demanding a replacement is signedꦐ before he leaves.
Given the calibr✤e of player Arsenal are chasing, that might be eas꧙ier said than done.
Arsenal want replacement before selling Xhaka
Taking to Twitter, : “News #Xhaka: It will take a few more da🌞ys before both clu💖bs reach an agreement.
“Xhaka still wants to join Bayer 04 and is waiting ⭕for the next steps.
“His contract is almost negotiated, Arsenal needs a replacement first (Rice, Gündogan, Caic♒edo), FC Ba🌺yern no topic.”
The most likely replacement for the꧑ midfielder out of the lis🔯t supplied by Plettenberg is Declan Rice.
He’s been heavily linked with Arsenal although no official approach is liꦉkely to be made until after West Ham’s Europe Conference League final tonight.
Rice would be the perfect replacement for Xhaka💃 at Arsenal if they can get a deal over the line.
He’s proved at West Ham howꦇ effective he can be in forward areas as well in a de🙈fensive capacity.
Xhaka has already said goodbye to club staff ahead of the summer break.
At this s🍬tage, it would be a surprise to see him back in Arsenal colours again in p🔥re-season.
