Xhaka signs one-year contract extension until 2024

Granit Xhaka has signed a one-year contract extension with Arsenal.

The 28-year-old Switzerland captain’s new deal will run until at least 2024, with the option for a further year.

Xhaka was the subject of interest from Serie A club Roma earlier this summer before Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed he remained part of his plans.

The midfielder, who joined Arsenal from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016, captained the Gunners in the club’s defeat at promoted Brentford on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
