Fans joke Granit Xhaka has 'no idea who he's joining' as ex-Arsenal star gives hilariously 'generic' answers in Q&A video after joining Sunderland

Granit Xhaka’s shock move to newly promoted Sunderland was followed by an incredibly awkward introductory video.

The former Arsenal captain, who spent the last two seasons with Bayer Leverkusen, completed a surprise return to English football with Sunderland, who last season sealed promotion back to the Premier League after eight years away.

Xhaka, 32, was unveiled this week in a short Q&A segment posted by the club on social media, but his answers quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Asked a series of introductory questions, the Swiss international responded with generic answers, prompting fans to question how much the midfielder really knows about his new club.
