Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka was not happy with his Gunners teammate Takehiro Tomiyasu during the Premier League match against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon, according to Football.London.
Granit Xhaka not happy with Arsenal teammate Takehiro Tomiyasu v Leeds
The report has claimed that Arsenal right-back Tomiyasu did not have the best of matches and him being negative in possession angered his teammates.
Xhaka is reportedly among the Arsenal players who got frustrated with the £19.8 million (Sky Sports) Japan international in the first half.
There was a moment when ‘Tomiyasu was too keen to pass back to Gabriel instead of going forward’, and that led to Switzerland international midfielder Xhaka ‘jumping around in frustration’, according to the report.
Disappointing performance
Takehiro Tomiyasu is a right-back by trade, but the Japan international was playing at left-back for Arsenal against Leeds.
Just as he played left-back against Liverpool.
On that occasion, the Japanese star did well, but he really struggled against the intensity of Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday.
Tomiyasu did not look particularly good in possession either.
Overall it was a disappointing performance from Tomiyasu.
However, Arsenal won the match against Leeds and remain at the top of the Premier League table.
