Arsenal can employ Granit Xhaka strategy to recruit star amid Bayer Leverkusen’s lingering uncertainty.
Arsenal is reportedly considering making a move for Jonathan Tah in a cost-effective summer transfer. The uncertainty surrounding Tah’s future has prompted Arsenal to contemplate enlisting the help of Granit Xhaka to advocate for Tah. The German defender has garnered attention from Arsenal in the past and has stood out for Bayer Leverkusen in the current season. He has been a pivotal player for the surprise Bundesliga leaders and has demonstrated his defensive prowess, realizing the potential he displayed at a young age.
His recent match-winning goal for Leverkusen and his contribution of five goals this season underscore his value. His adeptness in aerial play could complement Arsenal’s proficiency in set-pieces under Mikel Arteta. As Tah will have only 12 months left on his contract at the end of the season, Leverkusen may seek to secure a substantial fee for him in the upcoming transfer window if he does not extend his deal. With his impressive track record of 331 appearances for the club, Tah is likely to attract numerous suitors.
Xhaka, his teammate at Leverkusen, may speak positively about Arsenal and the experience of playing under Arteta. Additionally, if Xabi Alonso were to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, Liverpool could also express interest in Tah due to their need for defensive reinforcements. Arsenal could face tough competition in their pursuit of Tah, especially under the possible scenarios of Klopp’s replacement and Leverkusen’s interest in maximizing Tah’s transfer value. However, having Xhaka as a familiar ally may aid Arsenal in securing Tah’s transfer.
