‘My Heart Is Forever Sad’ ‘Needed An Upgrade But He’ll Be Missed’ Arsenal Fans React As Romano Confirms That Transfer Is At “Final Stages”

Bayer Leverkusen are closing in on a deal to sign Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian journalist claims that the transfer is moving into its “final stages” after the Swiss international agreed personal terms with the Bundesliga side:


With Xhaka seemingly poised to leave the Emirates at the end of the season, there have been mixed reactions to his impending departure from supporters on Twitter. Some have thanked him for his years of service and are sad to see him go, whilst others feel it is the right time to part ways:

You do feel that it is Xhaka who is pressing for a transfer rather than the Gunners pushing him out of the door. There have been a couple of reasons suggested why the 30-year-old is deciding to move clubs this summer.

There have been claims that his wife is keen on returning to Germany and that has played a big role in the player accepting Leverkusen’s offer. Another factor could be that he is in the last year of his contract with Arsenal and, with the club reluctant to hand him an extension, he has opted to leave now rather than running down his current deal.
