Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola Have Made Their Thoughts Clear on Sunderland Target Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka, a 32-year-old Swiss midfielder, is closing in on a move to newly promoted Premier League club Sunderland in summer 2025.
Xhaka seeks to leave Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, with whom Sunderland has reached an agreement in principle though no official fee is settled yet.
Sunderland, managed by Regis Le Bris, aims to reinforce its squad after promotion, already signing six players for £107 million and targeting Xhaka to add Premier League experience.
Xhaka made 297 Arsenal appearances over seven years, was Arsenal captain, won two FA Cups, and contributed significantly to Leverkusen's unbeaten 2023-24 Bundesliga title run.
If finalized, Xhaka's transfer would provide Sunderland with experience and leadership for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, addressing concerns about the squad’s top-flight experience.
