Why I TURNED DOWN Chelsea & Owe Mikel Arteta EVERYTHING! | Granit Xhaka Exclusive

In this special bonus interview on The Sports Agents, Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka joins Mark & Nedum to reflect on a remarkable first season back in the Premier League as they prepare to face his old club, Arsenal & return to European competition for the first time in 52 years this week.

Granit reflects on *that* moment in 2019 when he was booed off by his own supporters in North London - and Mikel Arteta's crucial role in a redemption story that took him to Germany where he became a Champion with Bayer Leverkusen.

Whether he had mixed feelings seeing Arsenal lift the title in May and how close he really came to leaving Sunderland this summer to reunite with Xabi Alonso at Chelsea.

Plus, if coaching is in his future, what good dressing room culture actually looks like and if leaders are born or made?
