Mikel Arteta has the last laugh after ignoring Jamie Carragher's "liability" blast

Granit Xhaka is, perhaps, one of the most polarising players in recent Arsenal history.

After joining the club in 2016, Xhaka quickly became one of the Gunners' most important players and even earned the club captaincy. However, after a public spat with Arsenal fans, it seemed as though the 29-year-old's position at the Emirates Stadium, both as captain and as a player, was untenable and he was promptly stripped of the armband in 2019.

Two-and-a-half years later though, Xhaka has made some serious headway with the club's fanbase after a move away from north London failed to materialise, with the midfielder now once again a key figure in Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team.
