Mikel Arteta hints at who is responsible for Granit Xhaka's Arsenal transfer exit

And with Xhaka seemingly leaning towards a return to Germany, Sunday's two-goal haul against Wolves could be the Swiss international's parting gift to Gunners fans.

The midfield maestro bagged the first two goals in Arsenal's emphatic 5-0 win at the weekend before he was withdrawn in the 75th minute to a standing ovation.
