Exclusive: Granit Xhaka to Sunderland, here we go! Deal has been agreed between all parties involved.
Understand the costs of € 20 million, contract until 2027.
Green light from Bayer Leverkusen for the player to fly today and to complete his move to #SAFC, another ambitious signature.
The 31-year-old brings enormous experience after he previously played for Arsenal and Leverkusen. His arrival is expected to offer leadership and quality while Sunderland is pushing to their promotion ambitions.
