However, Arsenal next season will not be strengthened by one of its flagship midfielders, Granit Xhaka, who will leave at the end of this season. It looks like Arteta will have to think about new player options to fill the position left by Xhaxa next season. We know that Arsenal's current squad is almost evenly distributed on various fronts, it's just that the options for second-tier players are still unbalanced, so it will be very difficult to compete with other teams in the EPL, especially Manchester City, which we know is Arsenal's arch rival this season. Even if Arsenal manage to qualify for the UCL, I think they will still have trouble focusing in several competitions and for sure their closest target will only be in the EPL race next season.
Yes, it is reported that Granit Xhaka will soon end his journey with Arsenal at the end of this season. He is a senior player in the Gunners squad who has always been a mainstay in midfield, his departure will throw Arsenal off balance in their midfield, and this has made Arteta have to think hard to quickly find the right replacement candidate for him. Arteta can't just rely on second-tier players to make balanced moves after the departure of Granit Xhaka, looking for new candidates is the best solution. Declan Rice has a very good reputation in the Premier League, he has always performed well in the West Ham midfield and has also become a mainstay in England. Arsenal is said to be one of the most serious applicants for Rice's services. I think this is the best solution, signing Declan Rice to replace Granit Xhaka. Everyone knows that Manchester City have everything in every game, they have a solid game, Guardiola is the greatest coach in my opinion.
As quoted by Fabrizio Romano, understands Granit Xhaka and Bayern Leverkusen's agreement is still valid, sealed and confirmed at this stage. In another tweet, Arsenal will give the green light after they signed a new midfielder with Declan Rice a priority target.
Another rumour, Declan Rice is widely expected to join Arsenal this summer. however, the Gunners could lose a key player in exchange for his services. Moyes could now potentially put a wrench in the works, according to The Sun, he has asked Arsenal attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe to join West Ham in a swap for Rice. their report noted that "the idea of a deal involving Smith Rowe going in the opposite direction" had been floated by West Ham. also, Moyes is allegedly a "huge fan" of the England international. despite being part of the conversation, Arteta has been adamant he is not for sale.
That is why, Granit Xhaka's process to Leverkusen is still sealed. so, let's wait if there is an agreement between these two clubs. or, the Gunners will look for other Alternatives. to be honest, I prefer Gundohan. apart from being a free agent, Gundohan can be relied on both in terms of mentality, a leader for the young squad of The Gunners, and work ethic no doubt.
