Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Speaks About Granit Xhaka’s Departure.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken about Granit Xhaka for the first time since the Gunners midfielder left during the transfer window for Bayer Leverkusen.

Xhaka had a rollercoaster of a time at Arsenal. He initially struggled to adapt to the Premier League and was often criticized for his inconsistent performances. However, he turned a corner in the 2019-20 season and became an integral part of the team, helping them to reach the Europa League final.

Last season, Xhaka was again a key player for Arsenal, helping them to finish fourth in the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League. However, he was also involved in a number of high-profile incidents, including a red card against Liverpool and a controversial reaction to being substituted against Crystal Palace.

Despite his ups and downs, Xhaka was a popular figure among Arsenal fans and his departure will be a blow to the club. However, Arteta has said that the decision to let him leave was made by mutual agreement and that it was the right time for Xhaka to move on.

“There are three parts to this,” Arteta said. “He had a clear desire that it was the right time and that it was a big big opportunity for him personally to move there. We had that conversation and at the end we all agreed that it was the right thing to move forward.”

Arteta went on to say that Xhaka is an “exceptional” midfielder and that he will be missed by Arsenal. However, he also said that the club needs to increase the quality of its squad in order to compete for the Premier League title and in the Champions League.

“We are losing an exceptional player,” Arteta said. “But at the same time, we are also making space for other players who can bring different qualities and different dynamics to the team.”

Arsenal have already made two signings this summer, bringing in Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. Arteta is expected to make further signings before the start of the season and he will be hoping that his new recruits can help the club to challenge for silverware.

Xhaka’s departure is a significant one for Arsenal, but it is one that the club feels is necessary in order to move forward. The Gunners are now looking to the future and they will be hoping that their new signings can help them to achieve their goals.
