Premier League: Granit Xhaka can move to Italian-giants on loan from Arsenal
English Premier League: Granit Xhaka joined Arsenal in 2016 and has featured in 107 games scoring a total of 12 goals for the team. Read on for more details.
According to reports, Granit Xhaka is all set to leave Arsenal in the upcoming transfer window and is expected to join AC Milan or Inter Milan on loan. Xhaka was a regular starter for Unai Emery until his recent brawl with Arsenal fans on October 2019. The former captain later apologised for his behaviour towards the supporters. However, he was soon sacked from captaincy duties. Xhaka is yet to feature for Arsenal since their game against Crystal Palace. While some fans are supporting the player, many of them want the Swiss player to leave the Emirates. Well, Xhaka's exit looks evident.

The 27-year-old midfielder is a player of high calibre and possesses the potential to end up in any top side in Europe. He is also rumoured to join Newcastle if he desires to stay in the English Premier League. Xhaka's Switzerland-teammate, Fabian Schar, also plays for Newcastle and he can play a big role to help his side get hold of Granit. According to a tabloid, Xhaka was also rumoured to have joined his former team Borussia Monchengladbach. However, that deal has fallen through.
When asked about the chances of Granit Xhaka playing for the Gunners Unai again, Emery could not give a clear answer. Emery said that it is the responsibility of the manager to look out for the welfare of the team and they need a player like Xhaka. He also added that he is not sure whether the midfielder is going to play for them again.
