The former Gunners midfielder has been left unimpressed from what he has seen from the Switzerland international and can't understand why he's skipper
Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has criticised Granit Xhaka, insisting that he cannot understand why he has been made captain and that he is not sure what the midfielder does best.
He told Paddy Power: "Can you imagine Patrick Vieira on the pitch on Monday night? He would have been shouting at his team-mates, asking them: 'What the f*ck are you doing?'
"I don't see that with Xhaka. I do with Guendouzi - he's one of the few who shows he wants to win every game. He's got a lion's heart.
"Guendouzi is relied upon a lot by [Unai] Emery, and that's because he's showing anger on the pitch. He hates to lose games, you can see that he's ready to fight for every single ball. He plays to his strengths and he does that well.
"That's more than you can say for some of the other midfielders. Can anyone tell me what is Xhaka's best quality? I don't know why he has been made captain. The leadership is absent.
"To be fair to Emery, it's a good thing that he's picking a lot of young players, including players grown at the club. Gabriel Martinelli has caught my eye, as has Joe Willock. And, of course, Kieran Tierney - I can't wait to actually see him playing, it's time - Arsenal need something else in defence.
