Arsenal will reportedly prioritise the contract extension of Granit Xhaka. However, talks have not yet taken place with the midfielder.
Although, talks are going to take place in the upcoming months. Hence, the Gunners are looking to seal the extension for Saka and Saliba.
ARSENAL HOPING TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT OF GRANIT XHAKA
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal will soon try to extend the contract of Granit Xhaka. The report also claims that the Gunners are not in advanced talks. This is also because they are focused on contract extensions of Saka and Saliba. The Swiss midfielder and his agent are also not panicking over the situation. Hence, it is clear that Granit Xhaka is a part of the future plans.
Fabrizio Romano speaking on the Arsenal midfielder further said, “Despite reports, talks are not advanced now. Xhaka is next in the list after Martinelli, Saka and Saliba, but the Saka deal has to be finalized and also Saliba is still in negotiations, so it will take some time before getting Xhaka extension done. It will be discussed in the next months,”.
THE SENIOR PLAYERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE TEAM UNDER MIKEL ARTETA
Arsenal currently have the youngest squad in the Premier League. It is also clear that they could potentially be the youngest squad to win the League. However, in the recent games, the senior players like Xhaka have played an important role. The Gunners failed to win 4 games after winning against Manchester United.
Hence, once, they dropped to second place in the Premier League table. However, the senior players like Elneny , Xhaka and Jorginho have helped settle nerves. Hence, Arsenal have managed to win the last two games against Aston Villa and Leicester City respectively. Therefore, it is clear that Mikel Arteta and the young players value the experience of senior players like Granit Xhaka.
The Arsenal midfielder is also open to extend his contract with the Gunners. He is also seen giving coaching to the U-18 players of the club. Hence, it is also clear that the club sees the player as a potential coach in the future for the club.
