Some Arsenal fans have reacted after a report emerged claiming Granit Xhaka could get a new contract.

What’s the story?

According to The Athletic, the Gunners are preparing to offer the Swiss ace a new deal.

It comes after AS Roma failed to make a suitable offer for the central midfielder. Jose Mourinho is said to be ‘desperate’ to add Xhaka to his new-look team.

The ‘phenomenal‘ player is currently on holiday after enjoying a great Euro 2020 campaign with his country. His performances alerted a few extra suitors after the Swiss defeated France.

New contract offer could be a lifeline

The offer of a new contract can hand Xhaka an Arsenal lifeline. And it is one that could help endear him to the Emirates Stadium faithful.

He ended the last campaign in brilliant form, making him one of the best players in the team.

By committing his future and continuing his great displays, he could soon become a fan favourite, even though that has not always been the case.

Xhaka has had run-ins with the Arsenal supporters, but his recent consistency is putting that in the past.
