Granit Xhaka has vowed to win over Arsenal fans and revealed he won’t leave the club until he wins “something special”.
Xhaka has been with Arsenal for nearly six years and he has made 242 appearances for the club across all competitions. But the Swiss midfielder’s stay in north London has been far from straightforward, with a high-profile falling out with the club’s fans followed by persistent transfer rumours.
The 29-year-old was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy in November 2019 by Unai Emery after he was involved in an angry confrontation with his own supporters in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. Xhaka reacted badly by waving and cupping his ear sarcastically when he was booed by the home fans after being substituted in the second half.
