Since moving from Borussia Montengladbach for 40.5 million pounds in 2016, midfielder Granit Jaka has been one of the most important players in Arsenal, regardless of whether Arsene Wenger was in the coach's chair or Unai Emery.

Granit Jaka has been missing in the recent Arsenal matches due to a problem on his side, but the Swiss National Representative is expected to be ready for Thursday's match against Naples in Europe League.

In an interview with CalcioNapolis24, Mario Cinoll, who is described as one of Jaka's managers, explained that the midfielder had been able to play for Naples, but in the end was determined to sell it at Arsenal.

There were some contacts, but then Arsenal came in with a tempting offer and Borussia couldn't refuse. Granit would have wanted to wear the blue lantern. He respects that place a lot.

“Granit is doing good work in Arsenal, he's well adapted to London. In football, however, you can never predict such things”.

Jaka renewed his contract with the London club in June last year and it is valid by the end of June 2023. Transfermarkt shows that Jaka's market value is currently 50m euros.

The midfielder of Albanian origin has made 32 presentations for Arsenal this season. During these matches, he scored four goals and made three assists.
