"Sunderland are not looking to offload Granit Xhaka However, according to Football Insider, the Premier League side have no intention of entertaining an offer for him in the January transfer window. Mick Brown, a former chief scout and someone with close connections within the game, has claimed that the midfielder is a crucial part of Sunderland's plans and they are not looking to offload him. He told Football Insider: Sunderland are not going to let Xhaka leave in January."
"To be fair to them, I'm not sure anybody was looking at Xhaka being available and thinking he could be a major difference-maker in the Premier League, but they did. They took a chance on it and it's turned out perfectly, he's done exactly what they wanted from him. There are a lot of young players in that squad and there was a lack of leadership, but he's gone in and established himself as the real driving force behind their success."
Granit Xhaka joined Sunderland from Bayer Leverkusen and has been the club's best summer signing. The 33-year-old Switzerland international has become one of the Premier League's top midfielders this season and has helped Sunderland rise to seventh in the table. Xhaka provides vital experience, leadership, and on-field direction for a young squad. Juventus and other clubs have shown interest, but Sunderland have no intention of selling him in the January transfer window. Former chief scout Mick Brown described Xhaka as a crucial part of Sunderland's plans and said the club will not entertain offers or let him leave midseason.
