However, Arsenal next season will not be strengthened by one of its flagship midfielders, Granit Xhaka, who will leave at the end of this season. It looks like Arteta will have to think about new player options to fill the position left by Xhaxa next season. We know that Arsenal's current squad is almost evenly distributed on various fronts, it's just that the options for second-tier players are still unbalanced, so it will be very difficult to compete with other teams in the EPL, especially Manchester City, which we know is Arsenal's arch rival this season. Even if Arsenal manage to qualify for the UCL, I think they will still have trouble focusing in several competitions and for sure their closest target will only be in the EPL race next season.
Yes, it is reported that Granit Xhaka will soon end his journey with Arsenal at the end of this season. He is a senior player in the Gunners squad who has always been a mainstay in midfield, his departure will throw Arsenal off balance in their midfield, and this has made Arteta have to think hard to quickly find the right replacement candidate for him. Arteta can't just rely on second-tier players to make balanced moves after the departure of Granit Xhaka, looking for new candidates is the best solution. Declan Rice has a very good reputation in the Premier League, he has always performed well in the West Ham midfield and has also become a mainstay in England. Arsenal is said to be one of the most serious applicants for Rice's services. I think this is the best solution, signing Declan Rice to replace Granit Xhaka. Everyone knows that Manchester City have everything in every game, they have a solid game, Guardiola is the greatest coach in my opinion.
Xhaka leaving won’t really have much negative effect on this current Arsenal side. Yes, he’s a key man in the team and his mentality and experience has shown over the years in the Arsenal team. But one thing is ceraon in football, a player will always come and go. It’s left for Arteta to discover a perfect replacement for him in the summer transfer window. At the moment, Arteta is more focused on making midfield and defensive additions. They’re better player than him and if the team can lay their hand on one, them I don’t think they will miss him that much.
