5 underperforming Arsenal players this season 

Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal - Premier League
It has been a torrid season for Arsenal so far

#1 Granit Xhaka

Arsenal v Crystal Palace - Premier League
Granit Xhaka has started every Premier League game for Arsenal this season

Granit Xhaka has been the worst player for Arsenal this season. The Swiss international was signed from Bundesliga side Borrusia Monchengladbach in 2016. The 25-year-old put in stellar performances in the second half of last season and was vital in Arsenal's FA Cup winning campaign.

The former Basel star has started every league game this season and has been deployed in front of the defence. Much to the ire of Arsenal fans, his constant loss of possession in dangerous areas have led to many goals being scored against the Gunners.

There have been multiple calls for him to be benched and a pivot of Ramsey and Wilshere to be deployed, However, Wenger hasn't lost faith at all in his key signing. He was Subjected to a lot of criticism on social media and more woeful performances by him will definitely be met with consequences. At just 25 years of age, his best years are still ahead of him and fans will be hoping that he comes out good.
