Arsenal manager Unai Emery has challenged Granit Xhaka to "change the opinion" of his critics after he was named as the club captain on Friday.
The Switzerland international's new position was confirmed by the club ahead of their clash with Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday. Although Xhaka has skippered the team on numerous occasions, it was a surprise for many supporters to see him take the armband on a full-time basis.
Having struggled for form as of late, Xhaka was jeered by some of his home supporters in Sunday's 3-2 win over Aston Villa.
