Sunderland central player Granit Xhaka commented on the recent move to Chelsea. The London club intends to sign the 33-year-old Swiss player on the initiative of head coach Xabi Alonso, who wants to add information to their middle line.

Chelsea had a starting position of eight million pounds, but Sunderland were willing to accept it and insisted that Xhaka was not available for transfer.. The footballer himself, who previously worked with Alonso in Bayera, is about to lose his job at the club.

Xhaka said that even before the hour of signing a contract with Sunderland, he clearly has a major role in the team’s long-term project. In this case, the football player recognized the interest of such a club as Chelsea, becoming a great honor for him.

“When I signed the contract here, there was already a plan behind the lashtunki, and I had to rely on him to pursue this project, to believe in him and work for him.

I always tell myself to people around me: I came here for more than one season. It is a great honor if a football club like Chelsea wants to sign a gravel who is 34 years old. Insanely, there was so much more behind it, but my loyalty to the club was not stolen." — Granit Xhaka quotes The Sports Agents on the Global Player platform.

Xhaka is missing one of Sunderland's key players after helping the team finish in the championship and qualify for the Europa League last season..
