Mikel Arteta hopes Granit Xhaka will experience redemption when he feels the warm embrace of a packed Arsenal stadium next season.
Many fans and pundits alike believed the Swiss international midfielder would never play for Arsenal again after he was stripped of the captaincy by then manager Unai Emery last November.
Xhaka had been booed off the pitch as he trudged off in reaction to being subbed against Crystal Palace, worsening the situation by cupping his ear, removing his shirt and appearing to swear at supporters.
