Speaking back in 2019, Mourinho said: “Xhaka is the main man in the entire Arsenal midfield, you can’t see it unless I lend you one of my eyes.

“Without him, Arsenal is lost. He is a leader. Remember, mistakes are made by humans.”

A return to the Bundesliga, where Xhaka spent four years at Borussia Monchengladbach, has also been mooted.

The £30m signing was first linked with leaving Arsenal back when he was stripped of the captaincy when Unai Emery was in charge.

Yet he has since turned his Gunners career around and still has two years left on his deal with the Premier League giants.
