Arsenal fans think it’s a shame that Granit Xhaka has had to take to Instagram to address any issues between himself and Kieran Tierney.

All of this stems from Arsenal’s goalless draw at Leeds on Sunday, where the Scotsman was unhappy with Gjanni Alioski for the role he played in Nicolas Pepe’s sending-off.

After the game, Tierney confronted the Leeds player, with Xhaka seemingly moving his teammate away from the situation whilst he was talking to the Macedonian.

As per with today’s world, footage such as that can be twisted and turned to make out that there is a problem between Tierney and Xhaka.

Well, the Arsenal midfielder made it clear on Instagram that there are ‘no problems here’, as he is pictured sitting with the ex-Celtic man on a plane.

Arsenal fans think there is a problem in itself that Xhaka has had to come out and address the issue because these things are common in the workplace.
