Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has been linked with a move to Hertha Berlin when the transfer window opens next month (Sky Sports).

German publication Bild is reporting that the Swiss maestro has already informed his team-mates about a move back to the Bundesliga.

Xhaka came under fire from Arsenal supporters earlier in the season. The £100,000-a-week (Spotrac) ace was substituted against Crystal Palace and showed petulance towards supporters who had booed him from the field.

The midfielder arrived at the Emirates Stadium in 2016. He cost £35 million from Borussia Monchengladbach.

In 148 appearances for the Gunners, he has scored 11 goals and registered 17 assists.

Xhaka had captained the side up until his spat with supporters. Unai Emery had named him as his main captain for the 2019/20 campaign.

A move might be best for all parties. For Arsenal, it would allow them to recoup money for a player who has often looked below-par. Xhaka would relish the move to try and revive his career.

Arsenal supporters have certainly welcomed this latest link with a move for the 82-cap international.

Many can’t wait to see the back of him and they’ve taken to Twitter to speak of their optimism that he’ll finally depart.

Here is a selection of tweets from Arsenal supporters regarding Xhaka:
