Thomas Partey has revealed that Arsenal showed Granit Xhaka ‘little respect’ and wanted to get rid of him before Mikel Arteta arrived at the club.
The Swiss international’s time at the Emirates was a tumultuous one. He went from being enemy number one to fans singing his name every week before he left the club in the summer. Now, he has opened up on what happened before Arteta became the Arsenal manager.
Granit Xhaka says Arsenal showed him little respect before Mikel Arteta arrived
Granit Xhaka left Arsenal and joined Bayer Leverkusen in the summer for £21.4 million (BBC).
The Swiss international was one of Arsenal’s best players last season. He was outstanding in that number eight role and became a fan favourite at the Emirates.
Things were not always like that for Xhaka. After his outburst against Crystal Palace back in 2019, he was stripped of his captaincy. Half of the fan base turned on him and wanted him out.
Everyone knows how Xhaka turned it around, but the Swiss international has now made a shocking revelation that Arsenal showed him ‘little respect’ during that period and wanted to get rid of him.
However, everything changed once Mikel Arteta arrived in December 2019.
