Huge signing!

I think he'll be missed a lot - he seems to be important in the dressing room and as a leader in a young squad. Nonetheless, good on him securing a 5-year contract!

The man's had a wonderful redemption arc and is leaving on a high note. Hope he continues performing at the same level.

Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Granit. We'll miss you in London.

 that’s a decent fee for someone in their 30s. Also, pretty great for him to get a five-year contract. I honestly think he was one of the best midfielders in the Premier league last year. It kind of sucks to see that he didn’t have one last trophy before he left.

Watching his progress over the years has been amazing and while I'm sad to see him go I am happy he had a great (almost perfect) ending.

Just imagine if we unlocked this Xhaka just a few years earlier and secured Kante that same year. That midfield duo would have won us a few titles imho.
