Granit Xhaka is reportedly close to transferring to Sunderland, after confirming an agreement in principle through his agent. Xhaka, under contract with Bayer Leverkusen for three more years, previously played for Arsenal, where he made over 225 Premier League appearances. His tenure at Leverkusen included winning both the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in an undefeated season. Sunderland aims to strengthen their squad with experienced players like Xhaka to thwart any risks of relegation, eager for him to return to the Premier League.
Granit Xhaka's agent has confirmed that the midfielder is closing in on a move to Sunderland after reaching an agreement in principle, with Granit wanting to return to the Premier League.
Sunderland aims to avoid an immediate drop back to the Championship, and signing Xhaka would provide them with valuable Premier League experience.
At Leverkusen, Xhaka was pivotal in achieving a double, completing 2,500 passes and maintaining a 90.8% passing accuracy in the Bundesliga last season.
'We hope Leverkusen will respect his wish to leave and that the clubs will find an agreement soon,' said Xhaka's agent, indicating his eagerness for the transfer.
