FORMER ENGLAND ACE PUZZLED OVER DECISION
FORMER Newcastle United and England winger Chris Waddle has labelled Sunderland’s decision to sign Granit Xhaka as “strange.
The 64-year-old pundit, who played seven times for Sunderland at Roker Park in 1997 as the Black Cats were relegated from the Premier League under Peter Reid, was speaking about the start of the new Premier League season - and he predicts a relegation battle for the Black Cats.
He said: “Sunderland signing Granit Xhaka is a strange move. Sunderland usually buy young. Granit Xhaka has joined, which is a strange move I can’t really work out. I know they were supposedly after Jordan Henderson originally, looking for an experienced midfield player.
“Xhaka cost quite a bit of money at 32. Will he make a difference? Time will tell. They're a young side. They've not had a good preseason. They lost to Hearts, Hull and Betis.
