Granit Xhaka says he will face the ‘biggest challenge of his career’ after joining newly-promoted Premier League club Sunderland on a three-year deal.
‘I’m very proud to be here,’ he told Sunderland’s official website. ‘When I spoke to the club, I was excited and I felt the energy, and the mentality that all the people and players have.
‘It’s exactly what I wanted, and I have a very good feeling. We are back to where this club needs to be, and we want to stay here to write our own history.
‘I feel that I’m ready to help the team with my experience but with quality as well. We need to find ourselves on the pitch, but I don’t think this will be a big problem.
