If we are working on a deal for xhaka we must have been given encouragement from his side that he's open to it or at least open to discussions If he had zero interest in joining these journalists wouldn't be posting about it imo Positive so far, but will still be such a hard transfer to get over the line, really hope we can do it
49 games in all comps for leverkuson last season. I can’t even get my head round the fact that there’s a chance, Callum styles to this in 18 month feels like football manager
He was class for Leverkusen both seasons and his last season at arsenal he was unreal - i know a few arsenal fans who said he was their best CM that season Would be an unreal signing Won't believe it until it happens tho but would love to see him sign for us
As much as id love the other lad he'd be another AFCON player, i really dont think we can afford to lose another one
This is my thinking to, if it was a no go or Xhaka wasn’t interested it would have been quickly shut down in the press. I’m feeling positive that we will get him, although I’m an eternal Sunderland optimist.
if Liverpool can swoop for this guy and unsettle Isak at the same time they are playing a brilliant B@stards game.
