Bruce remains tight-lipped on Xhaka links

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has been linked with a move away from the Gunners, with Newcastle rumoured to be interested.

Xhaka has fallen heavily out of favour with the Arsenal fans, especially after his furious outburst towards them whilst being substituted against Crystal Palace a few weeks ago.

The Swiss international has since been stripped of the captaincy and could be sold by the club in the next transfer window in January.

As quoted on the Mirror, Bruce said:

Granit Xhaka? Look, I was only in the job two weeks and I was linked with 42 players. So I am not going to comment on anybody else’s players.

He is a very good player.

Should Arsenal let Xhaka leave?

It seems as if there’s no way back for the midfielder now. The fans had already turned on him and his outburst at the Emirates has almost put the nail in the coffin.

He’s a very talented midfielder and provided a vivid apology for his actions, but many feel he simply isn’t good enough to wear the Arsenal shirt.

Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira are now preferred by manager Unai Emery, so letting Xhaka leave could be the best thing for all parties.
