It appears that Several Arsenal players are no longer happy at the Emirates right now if recent reports are to be believed. Fans have been calling The Gunners to sack the Spanish Coach Unai Emery because of the club's frustrating performance. Now, several sites are reporting that Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira are anxious to leave the club with the latter even reportedly asking the top executives of the club to consider transfer talks for him.
Former Arsenal Captain Granit Xhaka is reportedly leaving the club when the transfer window reopens in January. Xhaka has been saying in some of his interviews that he will stay at the Emirates after he was stripped of his captaincy. However, reports from Switzerland claim that the national team captain will leave Arsenal for AC Milan next year.
According to GiveMeSport, Granit Xhaka has been house hunting in Milan following his removal as the captain of the club. The site claims that if the reports are accurate, it is a sad end to Granit's professional career in Arsenal riddled with criticisms from fans and mismanagement from both Arsene Wenger and Unai Emery. Aside from Xhaka, midfielder Lucas Torreira is also reportedly planning to leave the club.
Lucas Torreira was arguably one of our best/most consistent players last season until he got injured. Then since he returned, Emery started to move him forwards & he’s never been the same players since. Now apparently he wants to leave, Emery is well & truly ruining us ffs. pic.twitter.com/482kKuwaDo — Bhavs (@bhavss14) November 13, 2019
The Uruguayan has been reportedly routinely left out of the side in favor of other players like Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka, and Dani Ceballos reports Metro. Arsenal fans have also been calling out Unai Emery requesting him to give Lucas Torreira a bigger role while the Spanish coach has been tweaking with his position and utilizing him forward than necessary. Calciomercato is reporting that the present uncertainty of his role in the club, along with the poor form of Arsenal, could be the reason why Torreira wants to leave the club.
LS | Lucas Torreira & Granit Xhaka want to leave Arsenal in January. #AFC will meet with Torreira's agent to convince him to stay while Xhaka has made his decision to leave. Inter & Newcastle are in the race to sign him. Milan want Torreira. — London Sources™ (@LondonSources) November 13, 2019
Lucas Torreira is reportedly aware of AC Milan's interest and made it clear to the Gunners that he wants them to consider any offers for him. AC Milan is also linked with Granit Xhaka's transfer, but according to reports, its Lucas Torreira, the team really wants. The Rossoneri was linked with the Arsenal midfielder last summer when his former manager Marco Giampaolo was in charge.
That interest has not reportedly changed since Torreira got a new manager in the person of Stefano Pioli. Lucas Torreira was only able to play at Arsenal's Premier League games when Granit Xhaka clashed with fans, although he only played as a sub during both times.
