Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to plead with their club not to sign Granit Xhaka in the upcoming January transfer window. 

This comes after Newcastle news Twitter account @ChronicleNUFC shared a post on their official page asking their followers if they would like to see Xhaka at the club. The post also included an article from their website about Xhaka’s potential exit from Arsenal.

This post then led to a large number of Newcastle fans replying with their views on Xhaka’s supposed move to the club.

Here’s a sample of Newcastle fans not wanting Xhaka to join in January:

The Swiss international has fallen out of favour at the Emirates after reacting badly to being booed off the pitch in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace last month. This situation resulted in Xhaka losing the captaincy at the North London club and having his time at Arsenal looking to end with a January move away.

One club rumoured to be interested in the midfielder is Newcastle, but these rumours have not gone down well with some Magpies fans who have made their opinions clear on the potential transfer.

What do we think?

If Xhaka does move away from Arsenal, maybe a move to another Premier League team would be good for the 27-year-old, who is currently valued at £36 million, according to Transfermarkt. But it seems that Newcastle would not be a suitable club to move to according to these fans who appear to have already made their minds up about Xhaka.
