Granit Xhaka may join AC Milan in January

Has Granit Xhaka played his last game for Arsenal already?

Xhaka hasn't been seen at the Emirates Stadium since he was subbed out of the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

After being booed by fans, Xhaka threw away his Arsenal shirt and stormed down the tunnel.

Unai Emery has reacted by stripping Xhaka of the captaincy, while the midfielder hasn't played for Arsenal since.

In the Times on Tuesday, Xhaka is linked with a possible January move to AC Milan:

The club are weighing up interest from AC Milan in Granit Xhaka.

Ivan Gazidis, the Italian club's chief executive, signed Xhaka when he was in the same role at Arsenal.

Xhaka, the Switzerland midfielder, has intimated he will leave unless he returns to the squad over concerns that losing his starting place will jeopardise his chances of playing in Euro 2020.
