Granit Xhaka has officially confirmed that he will continue to stick with Sunderland this summer, determined to make history with the team. The midfielder joined Sunderland from Bayer Leverkusen last year and quickly became an integral part of the Black Cats' squad, making an important contribution to the team's impressive return to the Premier League.Last season, Sunderland not only ensured safety but also had a breakthrough at the end of the season, thereby winning tickets to the Europa League with seventh place on the rankings. Xhaka has worn the captain's armband and played in 34 Premier League matches, scoring one goal and providing six assists, creating 34 chances and leading the number of passes into the end zone with 363 times.
Recently, Chelsea expressed interest in recruiting Xhaka, especially when coach Xabi Alonso wants to reunite with the Swiss international player. However, Sunderland rejected the offer from the London team. Xhaka has underlined his commitment to Sunderland, telling DAZN: "Sunderland has been my home from day one. We are very happy. I have decided to stay where I am; the most important thing is my family. I'm ready to make history with them."
Previously, Xhaka did not deny the information about wanting to join Chelsea. At the age of 33, he had an impressive performance and recently played the full 90 minutes, scoring on a penalty kick to help Switzerland overcome Colombia 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw, thereby winning a ticket to the World Cup quarterfinals.
With the decision to stay at Sunderland, Xhaka wants to continue contributing to the team and aim for greater success in the future. His commitment will be a great motivation for the team next season.
