In this week’s edition of the Football Interview, Kelly Somers speaks to Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka. They discuss why he chose to join Sunderland in the summer and how part of the reason was down to needing a new challenge. He reflects on his time at Arsenal and the difficulty of leaving the club, how he dealt with that and his relationship with Arteta. The Swiss international also opens up about his childhood and how close he is with his brother, Taulent, who was also a professional footballer, playing more than 300 times for FC Basel.
