Sunderland has targeted Granit Xhaka as the club prepares for its Premier League return. Sky Sports confirmed the English side's pursuit of the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder during this transfer window. The Swiss international remains under contract with the German club through 2027. Leverkusen officials may consider offers for the 32-year-old player this summer. Sunderland seeks to bolster its midfield ranks ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Xhaka brings substantial Premier League knowledge from his Arsenal tenure between 2016 and 2023. The midfielder accumulated 225 appearances across England's top flight during those seven seasons. His statistical record shows 17 goals and 24 assists throughout that period. Arsenal supporters witnessed his development from promising talent to experienced leader. The Swiss captain departed North London for Germany last year.

Sunderland's management views Xhaka as an ideal addition to their squad composition. The club recently secured promotion back to the Premier League after time in lower divisions. Officials believe his veteran presence would provide stability during their top-flight transition. Xhaka's tactical awareness and passing ability align with their system requirements. The potential signing represents Sunderland's ambitious approach to strengthening their roster for competitive matches against established Premier League opponents.
