Arsenal legend, David Seaman, has urged Granit Xhaka to avoid getting a red in Saturday’s north London derby between the Gunners and Tottenham.
Xhaka has received five red cards during his Arsenal career, has been told to keep calm and retain his focus in the north London derby.
Speaking in his podcast Seaman Says, former Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman said: “When you talk about those two in midfield for Spurs [Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur], I’m thinking, ‘Xhaka, keep your head’. Keep your head, because these are the sort of games where he can get into trouble.”
Since joining Arsenal in 2016, Xhaka has been sent off a total of five times and has been cautioned on 63 occasions.
Mikel Arteta will undoubtedly be relying on one of his most experienced players to keep his cool and stay focused in Saturday’s north London derby.
