💣🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Granit Xhaka after rejecting a move to Chelsea.
🗣️ "I respect every club, but Sunderland believed in me from day one. The fans have given me everything, and I feel at home here."
🗣️ "We finished 7th while Chelsea finished 10th last season. Wouldn't that be a downgrade? At Sunderland, we're building something exciting, and I want to be part of that journey rather than start over somewhere else."
🗣️ "For me, loyalty still matters.
I'm not chasing another move when I already believe in the project I'm part of."
🗣️ "And you know... Arsenal will always have a special place in my heart. Why would I ever want to make Arsenal fans unhappy? ❤️

🚨 🗣️ Granit Xhaka on rejecting Chelsea to stay at Sunderland A.F.C.
🗣 Why would I leave European football to go somewhere without it? At this stage of my career, I still want to play on the biggest nights.
🗣 Chelsea is a big name, but football is not only about history anymore. It’s about where you can compete at the highest level right now.
🗣 We earned European football here through hard work and belief. I want to be part of that journey instead of starting another rebuilding process somewhere else.
🗣 People will be surprised by my decision, but serious players want competition, pressure and European nights. That matters to me more than headlines.

Police were filmed bashing a black man’s head in with their knee at a BLM rally.
Except, it wasn’t a black man.
And it wasn’t at a BLM rally.
It was a white protestor being brutalised for protesting the murder of a young white boy.
So, of course, the media won’t care.

An example of what a club the size of Sunderland can be if we’re ran correctly. Goose. Bumps.

EUROPA LEAGUE was never the dream.
Not because I didn’t want it.
Because if I’m being honest, I never thought it was possible.
What kid would?
Especially when 12 years ago I was playing non league football in the Ryman Premier and Conference South, just trying to stay alive in the game.
What kid dreams about Europe when, two weeks into the off season, his dad has to tell him he’s been released by Watford F.C. over the phone?
I was heartbroken.
My dad looked at me and said:
“What are we doing tomorrow?”
To which I replied with the words he’d drilled into me my whole life:
“We’re training, Dad.”
So we trained.
Every single day.
My dad emailed every EFL club asking for an opportunity.
One club replied.
One.
That was all I needed.
An opportunity.
@WealdstoneFC and @wwfcofficial , I’ll always be indebted to you.
Then came the move to @SunderlandAFC .
A massive club.
A massive opportunity.
And I couldn’t wait to prove myself.
But 45 minutes into my debut… hooked.
“Rabbit caught in headlights. Waste of money. Get rid.”
Then came the Championship.
“He’s not good enough for this level.”
Then the Premier League.
“Let’s give him a debut and then get rid of him.”
I understood the doubt.
I’ve faced it my whole career.
And truthfully, you doubt yourself too at times.
But I’ve always tried to live by one mindset:
Outwork your doubt.
You don’t always need to see the full journey.
You just need to take the next step.
Then the next one.
And then another.
Even when social media tells you you’re not good enough.
Even when the voice inside your own head whispers the same thing.
Keep working.
Keep learning.
Keep showing up.
Because sometimes the places you end up are bigger than anything your younger self could’ve ever imagined.
To any young player reading this, don’t put a ceiling on yourself too early.
You genuinely have no idea where this game and life can take you.
And to the boys… thank you.
You removed the glass ceiling I’d placed on myself.
What a team.
What a club.
What a fanbase.
Sunderland… rocking all over Europe ❤️🤍
And in the words of Granit Xhaka:
“This is just the beginning.”
