Arsenal star gives major exit clue ahead of Wolves clash
Granit Xhaka has strongly hinted that his final encounter for Arsenal will be on Sunday afternoon against Wolves.
After seven years with the club, football.london has learned that the Switzerland international is in advanced talks to conclude a £13 million summer transfer to Bayer Leverkusen.
The 30-year-old’s contributions from midfield have been extremely valuable in helping the Gunners experience a sensational season.
During the 2022/23 Premier League season, Xhaka has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 46 appearances, missing just one game.
Prior to the final day match against Wolves, Xhaka posted a matchday graphic on Instagram; however, upon closer inspection, it appears to be a departure message.
“Thank you, Gunners” is written at the very bottom of the post, with two community shields and two FA cups won at the club positioned on either side of the message.
Mikel Arteta responded “No” when asked for the most recent update regarding Xhaka’s future.
I cannot and will not discuss the future of any players or staff members. We must conclude the season, complete our duties, and then begin to plan for the following year’s campaign.”
Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, and Reiss Nelson are all questionable for Sunday’s matchup, so Arteta is likely to make substitutions.
