The Swiss midfielder admits he wouldn't jump at the chance to lead the Gunners again after a difficult experience with the armband earlier this term
Granit Xhaka has revealed how close he came to leaving Arsenal in January, while also confessing he would have reservations over captaining Arsenal again in the future.
Unai Emery named Xhaka as Arsenal's new permanent captain following the departure of Laurent Koscielny in the summer transfer window having asked the squad to vote on their preferred candidate.
The Switzerland international only lasted a couple of months in the role, however, after an incident with the club's supporters during a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on October 27.
