Granit Xhaka sees long-term future at Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka says he sees a long-term future at the club.

Xhaka admits he feels settled after almost leaving a year ago.

"I am very happy here," he told ESPN. "My family is very happy here. I have a contract for another two years, it is true.

"I will be 30 in September but I don't believe in age. You can be 18, you can be 90, you can be 35. If you have the quality, you can play.

"We had a lot of people who were here as well -- David Luiz for example -- who had an amazing career, 33, 34, 35, he is even playing now.

"That's why age is only a number for me. As long as I am fit, as long as I can help the team, I will try to do everything. When the moment comes, I can't do that, I am the first to say to the club: 'I am not ready to do that'."
