Xhaka should leave Arsenal now fans are on his back - Noble

The Gunners captain may have irreparably damaged his relationship with the fans at the Emirates, says Noble, but he would be appreciated elsewhere

Granit Xhaka may be past the point of no return at Arsenal, according to Mark Noble, and the best option could be for the under-fire Gunners skipper to leave the club.

The Switzerland international reacted angrily to booing from home fans in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, and manager Unai Emery has said he won’t be in the squad to face Wolves on Saturday.

West Ham captain Mark Noble understood Xhaka’s response, which came after Xhaka had apparently faced abuse towards his family from some supporters – but he feels the damage done to the relationship between Xhaka and the club’s fanbase may be irreparable.
