Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has told CBS Sports that he wants to stay at the Gunners.

Xhaka has pointed out that he still has two more years on his contract at Arsenal.

The £100,000-a-week (SalarySport) Switzerland international midfielder has said that he could become a manager after he retired, as he has started his coaching badges.

The 29-year-old has suggested that he would like to extend his stay at Arsenal.

Important player for Arsenal

In our view, Granit Xhaka is an important player for Arsenal and will be massive for the Gunners this season.

Yes, the 29-year-old midfielder can get yellow and red cards for silly reasons, but he is a leader and organiser on the pitch.

The Switzerland international has been at Arsenal since 2016 and has been used by all the managers he has played under.

Xhaka has scored 10 goals and created 16 big chances in 189 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

In our opinion, for Arsenal to be successful this season, Xhaka will have to be on top of his game.
