Granit Xhaka has admitted that he is unlikely to become 'best friends' with Arsenal supporters, but has saluted their 'love' after becoming a mainstay once again.
Since arriving at the club in 2016, the midfielder has endured a rollercoaster relationship with the fanbase and was even stripped of the captaincy three years on.
After an altercation with fans on the pitch, the armband was taken from him, but since then he has patched up their connection with a series of passionate displays.
And, speaking to The Athletic, Xhaka outlined his belief that they are growing closer.
