Granit Xhaka made a shocking revelation he could be on his way out of Arsenal because he wants to play at the highest level of the game. The Switzerland international has played 126 matches for the Gunners since making a summer move from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016.
Xhaka signed recently signed a long term extension and has been a regular starter since the arrival of Unai Emary. But the 26-year-old has made shocking claims that he could leave the north London club to play for a bigger club.
Xhaka, who is presently on international duty with his country, told Tagblatt: “I’m very ambitious, I want to take the next step, Arsenal does not have to be the last stop.”
Gunners boss Emery is likely to take a deep view of Xhaka’s comments. Emery hailed the Swiss star’s decision to commit his future to the Gunners just before he headed off to the World Cup.
Emery said: “I’m delighted that Granit has extended his contract with us. He’s an important member of the squad and is still young so will be able to develop even more.”
Xhaka is expected to feature for his country in the Euro 2020 qualifier against Georgia. He has played 32 times for Arsenal this season as they are still on course for a top four finish in the Premier League and a Europa League glory.
