Granit Xhaka is set to leave Arsenal for Bayer Leverkusen

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is set to join Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen and some Arsenal fans have shared their thoughts on the move.

Granit Xhaka, the former Arsenal captain is nearing a return to Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.

The Gunners are set to complete a big-money move for West Ham captain Declan Rice and, an exit for Xhaka makes sense for both parties.

I’m happy we have Rice coming in but I’m just a bit gutted I wanted to see Xhaka playing for us in CL season.
