Granit Xhaka has been made official as a Bayer Leverkusen footballer. The 30-year-old midfielder will be linked until June 30, 2028 with the "aspirin" team that paid 25 million euros to Arsenal.
Xhaka leaves the London Gunners after 7 years where he also held the captain's shirt for part of the time and won the FA Cup 2 times.
Arsenal accompanied him with a video showcasing his goals and achievements. For Granit Xhaka, it is a return to Germany's Bundesliga 1 where he previously played for 4 years with Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Graniti got his start in Basel where his brother Taulanti also plays. The two faced each other as opponents when Albania played Switzerland in the final stage of Euro 2016.
