Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appointed new Arsenal captain after Granit Xhaka stripped from role

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Arsenal’s captaincy debacle ever since Granit Xhaka showed his disgust towards the fans after being substituted against Crystal Palace

Since then, the Switzerland international has yet to make an appearance for the Gunners and is being kept sidelined to avoid any further backlash. Xhaka posted an apology of sorts last week when he urged the fans to “move forward positively together” in the wake of the aftermath.

However, Unai Emery seems to have made a definitive decision and has stripped him from the captaincy role from the club.
