5 players Arsenal should sell in January

#3 Granit Xhaka

Arsenal FC v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

Granit Xhaka may have featured quite prominently for the Gunners this season, but many fans have argued that's simply because there's no other option. Arsenal's depth in the midfield is poor, and so Xhaka gets a spot week in, week out, as a result of being unchallenged.

Discipline has been an issue with Xhaka in the past, and he's no stranger to getting red cards in crucial matches, which hasn't particularly made him a fan favourite at the Emirates.

However, it's recently been admitted by the Swiss international that he's not happy at the club. He spoke candidly with a Swiss newspaper about moving back to his homeland, replying "Definitely", when asked if he'd like to play for FC Basel again.

Where might Granit Xhaka go?

With what's been already stated above in mind, Xhaka's most likely destination after Arsenal would be FC Basel. They're a strong side in the Swiss league and would suit Xhaka well. It's quite unlikely that he would want to move to another team in the Premier League, as most would be a step down from Arsenal since typical top four clubs would turn their nose up at him.
