Granit Xhaka has insisted that he won’t change his playing style despite being criticised repeatedly. Xhaka arrived from Borussia Monchengladbach in this summer to Arsenal.
The 24-year old has the knack of going into unnecessary challenges. He was sent off against Swansea and also accumulated three yellow cards so far. Xhaka is known for his physicality and also gave away a penalty against Stoke City.
The Swiss International spent four seasons at Borussia Monchengladbach and in this four seasons he was given the marching orders six times and had been cautioned on 35 occasions.
Wenger previously said that Xhaka needs to change his style of play but the Swiss international has refused to bulge in.
“I love playing that way. Sometimes you’re late onto the ball, sometimes you’re not. Sometimes you make contact with the guy when you tackle him, sometimes not. It’s a sport where individual duels are vital so I don’t see it as a problem.
“I wouldn’t change myself for anybody. I am who I am, people accept me or they don’t. I have my strengths and my weaknesses which I can try to improve upon, of course.
”I’m still not the finished product. I’m only 24 so I’ve got plenty of time to keep improving.”
