The Arsenal he is making a great start to the season, all his players are tremendously inserted, but we should highlight the figure of Granite Xhakawhich is essential in the plans Mikel Arteta. Until recently, the Swiss midfielder was looking forward to leaving the Gunner club to try his luck at another club, but a new contract is in preparation for him now.
Despite having a contract until 30 June 2024 with an option for an extra year, according to our colleague Ekrem Konur, Arsenal are negotiating with their representatives a new contract that would tie him to the London team for much longer. The Swiss footballer is essential for Mikel Arteta and his level of play and importance is only comparable to that of Buyako Saka or Gabriel Jesús.

–Arteta is the one who asked for its renewal
Arsenal are very happy with the level of play Granit Xhaka, but the truth is that Mikel Arteta would have done everything to convince the sports management and thus present him with a new bond. The Spanish coach does not want to imagine an Arsenal without Xhaka and has personally asked for an extension of the contract in order to be able to breathe easily for the next few years.
