Arsenal Midfielder Granit Xhaka Reveals 'Dream' of Returning to Former Club Before Retiring

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has admitted that he has ambitions to return to former club Basel later in his career, despite having established himself as a key figure at the Emirates under Unai Emery.

Xhaka came through the youth ranks with Basel before going on to make his senior debut with them in 2010. The 26-year-old moved to the Bundesliga with Borussia Monchengladbach two years later.

The Swiss midfielder then arrived in north London as a big money signing in 2016, but he has admitted that he harbours hopes of returning to the club where his senior career began one day.
