Aubameyang ‘likes’ post calling for Arsenal team-mate Xhaka to be sold
GRANIT XHAKA'S much-slated start to the Arsenal season has hit a new low after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang "liked" an Instagram post calling for his team-mate to be sold.
Supporters unhappy with Switzerland midfielder Xhaka pounced gleefully when they saw striker Aubameyang's amazing response to a tirade on Arsenal fans' channel .
Gabon superstar Aubameyang "liked" a video clip - viewed by tens of thousands - headlined "Sell Xhaka in January! Troopz loses it!!"
Supporters piled in with replies such as "Even Auba liked" and "Auba liked this lololol".
Fans also argued: "True Xhaka is the weakest link in our midfield" and "he's a liability drop him".
Some supporters weighed in with more considered messages like: "Sell Xhaka and Mustafi to buy a solid defensive midfielder. We have an okay defence so we need a defensive midfielder."
And one fan suggested Xhaka was not only the "biggest liability" but also: "Guendouzi is way younger and holds a greater impact in the team."
But Xhaka, 26, won backing from others as an "important midfielder" for an Arsenal side who have started solidly in the Premier League, seven points from four games leaving them fifth.
The Swiss captain opened the season as Gunners skipper, in a 1-0 victory at Newcastle.
But after missing a 2-1 home win over Burnley through injury, he came under fire when returning to start the next two Prem matches.
The Gunners were over-run in mid-pitch as Liverpool won 3-1 at Anfield.
Then Xhaka's ridiculous foul on Son Heung-min enabled Harry Kane to put Spurs 2-0 up with a penalty in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates.
But after Aubameyang got Arsenal off the hook with a 71st minute leveller, it seems he has now put Xhaka back on it and helped some fans hang him out to dry.
