Granit Xhaka talks about his future with Arsenal

Granit Xhaka has only two years left on his contract.

The Swiss midfielder branded it ‘a shame’ that he only has two years remaining on his Gunners contract.

He desires to extend his stay at the Emirates despite having a turbulent relationship with the club fans.

But under Mikel Arteta, Xhaka’s relationship with fans is in a much better place.

“With [Rob] Holding and [Hector] Bellerin, I’m the only guy in the squad from six or seven years ago,” the 29-year-old midfielder explained.

“We are building something here, a project under Mikel, something very special I think. It’s a shame I only have two more years of contract but we’ll see what happens. I see a big future for this club.

“We are sitting here three years after [the incident] and to say I’ve had my greatest moment in an Arsenal shirt since then [the goal vs Manchester United last season] – three years ago I would’ve said it could never happen. I’m trying to build something with the fans again. It needs time, for sure, but it’s going in a good way.”
