SMITTEN Granit Xhaka has married his girlfriend Leonita.
The Arsenal midfielder moved quickly to tie the knot, having posted a picture of his proposal on June 22nd.
And today he posted another snap of of himself and his wife, captioned 'Mr & Mrs'.
The couple both come from Kosovan-Albanian families and met when Xhaka was plying his trade for former club Borussia Monchengladbach.
Leonita caught the eye at Euro 2016 when she was spotted in the stands during Switzerland's campaign.
Xhaka will now hope he can replicate his FA Cup final display next season as the Gunners prepare get back to business.
The £30m signing produced one of his best performances of the season after steadily improving from a shaky start to life at The Emirates.
He picked up a ban after a dismissal in a win over Swansea in October.
