Arsenal Star midfielder ‘offered the chance to join Bayer Leverkusen’

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has reportedly been offered the chance to join Bayer Leverkusen.

According to The Sun, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will not stand in Xhaka’s way if he wants to depart.

Xhaka has been a key player for the Gunners this season as they have exceeded expectations by challenging for the Premier League title.

However, if he was to remain at Arsenal next season then the Switzerland international wouldn’t be guaranteed a regular starting berth, especially if Declan Rice joins the Gunners from West Ham.

Xhaka possesses previous experience of playing in the Bundesliga from his time at Borussia Monchengladbach, who he played for between 2012 and 2016.

If Xhaka heads to Leverksuen then Arsenal could look to bring in Moussa Diaby as part of the deal.

A talented winger, Diaby has scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists for Leverkusen so far this season.

The 23-year-old has been capped by France on ten occasions since making his senior international debut in 2021.

Xhaka has been at Arsenal for nearly seven years and has made 294 appearances for the club. Having previously mainly been used in a deeper position, he has thrived playing in a more advanced role.
