Arsenal are ready to sell Granit Xhaka in the summer transfer window, according to a report.

Arsenal ready to sell Granit Xhaka

The Daily Mail have reported that Arsenal are prepared to listen to offers for Switzerland international midfielder Xhaka.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to raise funds in the summer transfer window to sign players, and Xhaha is reportedly one of those who could be offloaded.

HITC Verdict: Sensible decision

In our view, selling Granit Xhaka in the summer transfer window would not be a bad idea for Arsenal.

Yes, Xhaka is an important player for Arsenal and has done well for the Gunners, but now is the time for the North London club to offload him if they want to get a decent transfer fee for him.

The Swiss is 30 now, and it is unlikely that Arsenal would get much money for him in the coming years.

Now, of course, Xhaka has done well, especially this season.

Rangers legend and pundit Ally McCoist described the midfielder as “a revelation” who is “having a great season” on Amazon Prime Video (22min, February 16, 2023).

But, if Arsenal are to progress and develop as a club and on the pitch, then they need to make such tough decisions.

The Arsenal no. 34 has made 31 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League this season.

Xhaka has scored five goals and given five assists in those games.
