Fans React As Granit Xhaka Confirms That He Will Sacrifice A Huge Dream Just For Arsenal Fans
Arsenal is leading the fight at the top of the English Premier League. They managed to draw against Southampton away in their latest fixture. Mikel Arteta’s run of winning games came to a halt with this recent stalemate. Gunners’ striker Gabriel Jesus was not happy with his performance after failing to score against the Saints.
No better man to draw the blood in this fixture was Granit Xhaka. The man in form smashed one behind Gavin Bazunu in the 11th minute to take the lead. Stuart Armstrong drew level with an amazing comeback in the second half for Southampton. Arteta expressed his displeasure over the win slipping out of hand. However, the attack still looks fierce with Jesus, Xhaka, Martinelli, and Odegaard all in form.
Xhaka: a Midfielder Arteta needed, a Leader fans wanted
Granit Xhaka has revived the aggressiveness and the acute precision he wanted to display at the Emirates. His style of play shows the onus to put pressure on the opponent’s half. Also, the Swiss International is not shy to glaze a rocket from distance. Arteta has shown faith in Xhaka at the right terms and prepared him to shine this season.
More importantly, the midfielder remains composed on the pitch with and off the ball. The former captain still commands respect in the dressing room and binds the team being the leader. Arsenal Legend Emmanuel Petit has heaped praise on Granit Xhaka for his current run of eye-catching displays. He even described him as the symbol of the club citing his importance in the previous years.
The Dream for the Champions League lives
Petit was right to say so as Xhaka is more focused on his club career than his International playtime. In a recent interview, the Swiss chose to win the Champions League with Arsenal over his ambitions to win the World Cup. This will give Arsenal fans hopes that the club is on the right path. Arteta has worked hard to bring his squad to the Champions League draw next season. Xhaka believes that the top-four finish is definitely on the cards right now.

Arsenal has been consistent unlike other Premier League clubs this season. The 9-game winning run was gentle proof of the act and the potential threat they carry. Mikel Arteta designed Xhaka to fill in his position in an advanced number 8 position. With the World Cup campaign knocking at the door, it is quite necessary that the player keeps up his fine work rate.
The vision of the club has always been to bag a place in the UEFA competitions. The Gunners have been away from European competition for quite a while now. Granit Xhaka is one of the players who trusted the process and the change at Emirates. The club would love to excel in this race as well. Gooners have set bars watching their favorites overpowering this year’s campaign. They are not wrong to expect them to at least finish in the top 8 next season.

He would probably more interested if his own countrymen weren’t constantly questioning whether he’s Swiss enough to be Swiss

He’s Albanian and his Swiss supporters question his legitimacy to be involved in the Swiss team

Believe or not but most modern day players would rather win the CL with their club then the World Cup with their country. It’s been like that now for players for over 10 years now. Even Rooney said it and that was after he already won the CL
