Granit Xhaka spent two years at Bayer Leverkusen
Sunderland have completed the signing of former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.
The Switzerland international has signed a three-year deal with the newly promoted Black Cats.
Xhaka, who spent seven years at Arsenal before joining Leverkusen in 2023, will wear the number 34 shirt at the Stadium of Light.
"I'm very proud to be here. When I spoke to the club, I was excited and I felt the energy, and the mentality that all the people and players have," said Xhaka.
"It's exactly what I wanted, and I have a very good feeling. We are back to where this club needs to be, and we want to stay here to write our own history.
"I feel that I'm ready to help the team with my experience but with quality as well."
