Granit Xhaka's move from Bayer Leverkusen to Sunderland could turn into a masterpiece.
This is what the football editor of the major Swiss newspaper, "Blick", Tobias Wedermann, wrote.
Sunderland has returned to the Premier League, and Xhaka will lead them on a mission to remain in the English elite.
"Not Saudi Arabia, not Turkey - Granit Xhaka chose what could be his last big adventure on the biggest stage of football. Instead of disappearing from the football radar for a big salary he is going to the Premier League. The best and strongest league in the world. "A place where the Switzerland captain was not always appreciated during his time at Arsenal and where he was sometimes treated unfairly," Wedermann wrote in the comment published in "Blick".
According to him, Xhaka returns to the island to show everyone what he can do.
"Leverkusen's champion, Xhaka, has chosen to enter the difficult battle to avoid relegation. Heroic, courageous, with the premises of a Hollywood movie. Staying in the league is the only and greatest mission that Sunderland can declare. With his experience and mentality, Xhaka is expected to lead this 'Herculean' task. If he succeeds, Sunderland will be his next masterpiece."
