Granit Xhaka moved to Bayer Leverkusen from Arsenal and is about to play the Gooners at their own stadium in a pre-season friendly. His landing in Germany was fantabulous, as the player could win both the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal under Xabi Alonso.

Looking back, Xhaka said that his move to Bayer was not a step back but a step forward. He was talking to Bild, which is a German news outlet.
“For me, it was not a step back, but rather two steps forward. Because I had the exact feeling, during discussions with the coach and with Simon Rolfes, that something special could happen here in the next few years.”
Talking about their defender Jonathan Tah, who has Bayern Munich’s eyes on him, Xhaka said that he would love Tah to stay.
“Everyone knows that Bayern is a very big club. And big clubs want the biggest players. That should also be an honour for Jonathan,” he said.
“We know what he means to our team. He also knows where Leverkusen stands today. He also knows that we won the championship last year. That is his decision. We would like to keep Jona with us. He makes a great impression, not at all thinking about anything else. He is very focused. Just like I got to know him last season. Of course, we all hope that he stays with us.”
“We want even more. Not just this year, but of course we want to be at the top in the coming years,”
