Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been discussing the club’s decision to reward Granit Xhaka with a new long-term contract.

Xhaka endured a difficult season with Arsenal and came under fire from sections of the club’s fan-base.

However, new Gunners boss Emery has been quick to express his faith in the midfielder and has since spoken of his decision to reward the player with a new deal.
As quoted by the Mirror, Emery said:
I’m delighted that Granit has extended his contract with us. He’s an important member of the squad and is still young so will be able to develop even more. I hope he has a successful World Cup with Switzerland and comes back fit and ready for the new season.
Xhaka will be desperate to prove himself to Arsenal’s new Spanish manager by impressing for his country in the ongoing World Cup. The midfielder is set to play an important role in Switzerland’s campaign in Russia this summer.
