Sokratis opens up on 'difficult' Arsenal spell & defends 'one of the best' Xhaka after Burnley error

Sokratis has opened up on his "difficult" spell at Arsenal while describing Granit Xhaka as "one of the best" players he's worked with following the midfielder's error against Burnley.

Arsenal confirmed Sokratis' departure by mutual consent in January, with the centre-back subsequently returning to his native Greece with Olympiacos.

The 32-year-old appeared in 69 games for the Gunners over two-and-a-half years, but was exiled from Mikel Arteta's squad at the start of the 2020-21 campaign and has now offered an insight into his frustrations on the sidelines.
