Xhaka isn’t pleased with Arteta’s decision to let him go

Granit Xhaka is not at all happy with new Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after the talk that Xhaka should hold up until the finish of the period to leave Arsenal.

Xhaka was removed from his captaincy position after having a clash with Arsenal fans where the match ended with a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, and Xhaka lashed at the fans with the show of his middle finger. 

‘This is how much I liked him. I was happy when Arsenal signed him because I thought he was going to be a terrific player,” said Arteta.

‘He has done some really good things and now he has got stuck in a very difficult situation that, I think, was growing and growing and growing and one day it exploded.

‘But I have been amazed as well by how this relationship is starting to come back a little bit and I think the fans have been very, very positive about him, and him as well.

‘Obviously it is difficult to change completely the scenario from where he was a magnificent one. But I think we are in the right direction with him.

Xhaka’s agent, José Noguera also spoke about this.

‘Look, I will say it frankly and honestly, we are in agreement with Hertha BSC and would like to go to Berlin,’ said Noguera.

‘We have told Arsenal’s club boss Raul Sanllehi and sporting director Edu Gaspar, as well as the new coach Mikel Arteta.
