Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been urged to replace Granit Xhaka with Declan Rice after the Switzerland star was accused of costing the Gunners this season.
For the majority of the campaign, Xhaka has earned plenty of plaudits and praise, rather than the kind of scathing reviews that have plagued most of his Arsenal career. The Switzerland international has contributed positively in an attacking sense this term and remains one of the first names on Arteta's team-sheet despite seeing his role slightly changed.
And yet, he clearly hasn't convinced everybody. Former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has advised the Gunners to try and land Rice's signature and then use the England international to slowly phase Xhaka out of the fold at the Emirates.
