Midfielder Xhaka was the only Arsenal player that faced the media after the game.

And he was obviously angry and disappointed following the full-time whistle as he snapped back at reporters' questions.

When quizzed on what the manager said after the game, Xhaka replied: "Nothing."

And when asked why, he added: "I don't know. He is disappointed of course. Him, the players, nobody speaks in the dressing room."

Xhaka, 26, threatened to lose his rag with the reporter when he was asked whether the team had let down the departing Petr Cech and Aaron Ramsey.

He sarcastically replied: "You ask a good question. A very good question. Did you think we did that?"

The reporter responds: "I'm asking the question."

To which Xhaka hit back: "I ask it to you back. The question is stupid, sorry. Come on. I don't provide an answer about this."

The Switzerland midfielder was finally asked about his future and appeared less than convincing answer when he said: "Me? I have a contract here."

One player who could be arriving at the Emirates is Barcelona man Andre Gomes.

The midfielder enjoyed an impressive loan spell at Everton last season.
