Arsenal fans reluctantly hail Xhaka’s ‘awesome’ Switzerland showings
Granit Xhaka hasn’t made an appearance for the Gunners since he fell out with supporters following his substitution against Crystal Palace.
However, the 27-year-old has impressed some Arsenal fans during the international break.
Xhaka helped Switzerland book their spot at next summer’s European Championships after a 1-0 win over Georgia, before getting on the scoresheet in the 6-0 win over Gibraltar on Monday.
He wasn’t the only Arsenal man in action over the past 10 days, but when @AFTVMedia asked their followers who’s impressed them the most during the international break, many were quick to show their appreciation for his recent displays.

Even though it was against fairly weak opposition, it’s good to see the midfielder back on the pitch and impressing.
It’s also nice to see some fans recognising his solid performances, but his future at the Emirates remains up in the air.
Newcastle United and AC Milan have both been tipped to secure his services in the new year, and his latest displays will probably attract more interest.
