Granit Xhaka believes Arsenal have a 'big, big future' ahead of them.
The Swiss midfielder also credited Mikel Arteta for keeping him at the club.
"We are building something very special here with the project with Mikel [Arteta] and stuff like this," Xhaka told the Evening Standard.
"It's a shame I only have two years more on my contract. Let's see what happens after two years. But I am seeing a big, big future for this club.
"[Arteta] is the reason why I'm still at this football club. All of the club knows why I am still here, because three years ago I was gone.
"I didn't speak with family, with nobody, and normally I don't do that. But I said, 'Okay, Mikel – I will stay for you.' And I'm still here."
