Xhaka insists leaving Arsenal 'not about the missus'

Granit Xhaka insists he's not leaving Arsenal because his wife wants to return home to Germany.

The midfielder is expected to sign for Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

Xhaka struck twice in yesterday's season finale against Wolves, which they won 5-0, and was asked for an update by autograph hunters afterwards.

The Swiss replied, "It's not about the missus."

He also told fans asking about his exit rumours: "We will see next year what's up."
