If it was true it would be all over the internet now so sounds like somebody has either got their wires crossed or is making stuff up

The lad who posted it said this a few minutes ago

“Mates posted it in our chat but I’ve just noticed the date was the 22nd July.”

So no further update.

From OTR -

I've seen Xhaka play since his debut at Basel at 17, then his years at Gladbach, then Arsenal, and finally Leverkusen. A lot of matches and also clips, and all the matches of the Swiss team. He played mostly in double 6 and in 8. It all depends on the coach, the system and the players around him. I preferred him as a No. 8, because then, more advanced, he could also score goals with his great shots or free kicks. At Leverkusen, while being a double 6, he played a little further back than the other No. 6, with all the construction of the game on his behalf. A sort of advanced libero. Given his game intelligence, we even had him play No. 10 and full-back (Arsenal), but that has its limits and destabilized him a lot. In short, the coach can play him as a 6 or 8, depending on his ideas, and even as a libero in front of the defense. One thing is sure : he's a tireless diesel engine, and no worries about his age: last season, he was again the player who ran the most in the Bundesliga!
My type of player this lad. You'd hang your hat on him every time. Seems too good to be true he might end up here, but you never know...

Me too tbh. I think there are some great players in the premier league from south america. Maybe we arent yet quite setup on our scouting in that part of the world. Definitely really strong standards out there.

Yep, you get gooduns from there alright.
Maybe we should ring Brucey? He had a good record of getting players from there, and then got us a couple of right bloody duds!
