Arsenal’s defensive midfielder Granit Xhaka has taken to his Instagram account to share a clip showing the moment his 10 months old baby girl, Laneya Xhaka walked for the first time.
In the clip, Xhaka sat on the floor holding on to the girl while his wife, Leonita Lekaj sat at the other end of the corridor facing the football star. The 29-year-old Swiss footballer released the little girl who started to walk slowly towards the direction of her mother.
Xhaka being a caring father, paid keen attention to every step the little girl made to ensure that he can protect her when she falls in her attempt to get to her mother. But there was no need for that.
On the part of Xhaka’s wife, Leonita Lekaj extended her hands as widely as possible in anticipation of the safe arrival of little Laneya. To the amazement of the Swiss footballer, the baby girl arrived safely to the warm embrace of her mother.
The faces of both Xhaka and his wife shone so brightly which explained the joy of seeing their second seed walk for the first time as she continues with her journey in life.
Xhaka and Leonita Lekaj welcomed Laneya Xhaka to the world on April 24, 2021. When the child was born, the Swiss football star took to Instagram to share a picture of himself carrying the newborn baby as warmly as possible to announce her birth.
In the caption, the football star wrote: “I no longer just have one beautiful princess, now I have two. Laneya Xhaka”.
Yes, before the arrival of Laneya, Granit Xhaka and Leonita had welcomed a bouncing baby girl to the family. The little princess was born on October 7, 2019, and they named her Ayana.
The fast-growing family officially started in July 2017 after the Arsenal football star decided to marry Leonita long before he became a Premier League star.
Xhaka who has been playing for Arsenal since July 1, 2016, after he joined the Premier League side from Borussia Mönchengladbach has until June 30, 2024, before his contract with Arsenal expires.
Despite having so many years left on his contract, the Swiss defensive midfielder is reportedly contemplating leaving the Premier League side.
Viral reports in Italy and the United Kingdom claimed that the coach of Roma, Jose Mourinho is very much interested in the football star. He reportedly doesn’t mind dumping Arsenal for Roma if the Italian club are serious about recruiting him in the coming summer transfer window.
So far this season, the coach of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, has used the red card prone defensive midfielder just 13 times in all competitions in which he provided just an assist. He is expected to be in action when Arsenal takes on Wolves at 20:45 on Thursday, February 10, 2022.
