Unlike most footballers who spent some parts of their summer holiday partying with friends, Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka spent most parts of his summer holiday with his family ahead of the next season.
The Switzerland international gave his fans and followers the opportunity to see that he has been a good family man while on holiday as he went on his Instagram page to share a picture of himself and his family.
The 34-year-old could be seen carrying one of his children who is probably the oldest while his wife carried their last child in her arms.
Xhaka’s wife Leonita Lekaj was putting on a lemon green top and his children were dressed in white. While the Arsenal player was in simple attire.
Granit Xhaka Relationship Life
Granit Xhaka first met Leonita, the woman who later became his wife when he was a member of the German team Borussia Mönchengladbach and they started dating soon after they met in 2015. Despite their relationship’s numerous ups and downs, they have remained inseparable ever since. In 2017, Xhaka revealed that he had proposed to the love of his life and she accepted.
He later wedded his lovely wife on July 6, 2017, and the lavish wedding ceremony was attended by many famous people. They became parents for the first time in October 2019 as they gave birth to a baby girl named Ayana. On April 24, 2021, the couple welcomed their second daughter, Laney Xhaka.
Who is Leonita Lekaj – Granit Xhaka’s wife?
Leonita was born in Albania on March 31, 1992. But the lovely woman’s mother and father decided to relocate to Pristina, Kosovo, where she was raised and spent most of her youth. The Albanian relocated to Germany at an early age where she finished her high school education.
Leonita is a professional model and she has worked on picture shoots for well-known companies. She also made numerous magazine appearances and is now a good personality in the glamour industry as a result of her consistent efforts and hard work. However, she rapidly rose to fame once her romance with Granit Xhaka was made public in 2015.
Granit Xhaka Career As A Professional Footballer
Xhaka started his career with Basel and won the Swiss Super League in his first two seasons. He moved to the Bundesliga in 2012 and signed with the team Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he earned a reputation as a technically skilled player and natural leader while also drawing criticism for his temper.
He became the team’s captain at the age of 22 and guided Borussia Mönchengladbach to a second straight season of UEFA Champions League qualification. He signed a high-profile transfer to Arsenal in May 2016 for about $36.61 million. He has been sent off the most times since he joined the club.
However, he has proven himself to be a capable team leader to the point that he was given the armband. In recent years, Granit Xhaka’s relationship with certain Arsenal supporters has been strained. It later resulted in the star storming off at the Emirates in 2019 and giving up his position as club captain.
