British daily newspaper Daily Mail reported on the 1st (Korea time) 'Jaka made fans puzzled when he expressed his feeling of joining the team so ordinary' In a video released by Sunderland on social media, Xhaka replied "Big Challenge" as to why he chose to move. When asked how famous Sunderland is, he answered "A great club" and when asked who he expected to play with, "Everyone" he said. Regarding the player he wanted to meet, he also said "Everyone" and continued to answer questions in a short answer.
In response, Sunderland fans have expressed various opinions. One fan wrote in the video comment that `Jaka has no idea what kind of people he's going to be hanging out with.' Another fan responded with regret, saying, `I don't even know the name of one of my colleagues.' There was also a comment saying, 'All he knows is that he is in the Premier League.
Switzerland native Xhaka made his professional debut with Basel in 2010 and moved to Mönchengladbach in 2012. Xhaka, who played for Arsenal from 2016 to 2023, moved to Leverkusen and played until last season.
Sunderland, which celebrated its 145th anniversary this year, has returned to the Premier League for the first time in eight years since 2017. In addition to investing 17 million pounds (about 31.2 billion won) in recruiting Xhaka, he is eager to strengthen his power by spending more than 100 million pounds (about 184.8 billion won) in the transfer market this summer.
