Sunderland has successfully signed former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.
The Switzerland international has agreed to a three-year contract with the newly promoted Black Cats.
Xhaka, who spent seven years at Arsenal before moving to Leverkusen in 2023, will don the number 34 jersey at the Stadium of Light.
"I'm very proud to be here. When I spoke to the club, I was excited and felt the energy and mentality that everyone, including the players, possesses," Xhaka stated.
"This is exactly what I wanted, and I have a very good feeling. We are back to where this club belongs, and we aim to remain here to create our own history."
"I feel ready to contribute to the team with my experience and quality," he added.
