Charlie Nicholas admits he is 'not happy or convinced' by Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka... claiming the Swiss midfielder does not provide consistency for Mikel Arteta's side as former striker also slams vice-captain Hector Bellerin

Charlie Nicholas is not 'happy or convinced' with Granit Xhaka and Hector Bellerin and the former Arsenal forward believes boss Mikel Arteta must sell at least 'five or six' players this summer.

Switzerland midfielder Xhaka has become a polarising figure at the Emirates Stadium since joining for £35million from Borussia Moenchengladbach in 2016, despite appearing regularly and making 209 appearances for the club.

No player in the Premier League has made more individual mistakes leading to goals since his arrival, while he was also stripped of the captaincy in 2019 after an angry confrontation with fans while being substituted against Crystal Palace.
