Granit Xhaka has been a reviled player at Arsenal for many years, but the Swiss under three coaches has often been the first man on the team card. However, the hard-tackling midfielder looks set to become a thing of the past at Arsenal this summer.
For the past two weeks, rumors have been circulating that Xhaka should be warm about the idea of a new adventure this summer, and here AS Roma has long been mentioned as his next employer.
The English media Football.london has just written that Xhaka should have accepted a five-year agreement with Roma. Granit Xhaka joined Arsenal five years ago and has since been a much-maligned player for Arsenal. However, Xhaka in particular has delivered at a high level over the past year, and therefore it is probably a bit surprising for most Arsenal fans that Xhaka is leaving them this summer.
In AS Roma, Xhaka will be coached by another insulted person in the football world, Jose Mourinho.
