Granit Xhaka makes Arsenal fans promise ahead of a challenging season

Granit Xhaka recently signed a long-term contract with the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta’s men have lost both their opening games of the Premier League season and will play West Brom in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

They are down at 19th place in the league table but Xhaka has promised that the players will use the criticism to steer motivation onto themselves.

When Xhakka was asked if the team will use the criticism as motivation, he replied: “Of course.”

“A lot of people try to speak and to kill a little bit the players and the team but the strongest thing to do at the moment is to be together, and only together will we be stronger and give the results on the pitch after.

“We want to achieve something big, of course. After two games a lot of people are speaking about this team and about this club but I will say, no season finishes after two or three games.

“We still have games still in front of us, we know we have to improve a lot of things and I’m sure we will do that.”
