Granit Xhaka has become something of a scapegoat at Arsenal.

The Switzerland international has been at the club since 2016 and was even appointed captain by Unai Emery earlier this season, but he is far from popular with the supporters. He was even booed during one match - which subsequently led to him losing the captaincy after shouting an expletive at the stands in response.

He has been linked with a move to Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga particularly, but former Reds midfielder Danny Murphy believes he would be a "hell of a player" at Anfield if he made the switch. He said: "If Xhaka was in Liverpool’s side with [Jordan] Henderson and Fabinho he would look a hell of a player, because he is technically good, a good passer, has a great shot on him and he has the ability with his great left foot to open you up."

Call yourself a Liverpool expert? How much did each of these big-money January signings cost?

That is a bold claim, and one plenty of the club's supporters do not appear to agree with. They were quick to slate their ex-player for his views.

Harsh words, especially in regards to a man who made 249 appearances for the club, but it is easy to understand their shock at these comments. It is hard to really think of a time when the 27-year-old has ever looked like a Liverpool player, especially now that they lead the table by 13 points.

Others were quick to pick up on his attitude as a reason why it wouldn't work.

There are certainly questions over his temperament. The £27m-valued man - as per Transfermarkt - has picked up 10 yellow cards in two out of three campaigns since joining the Gunners, and that incident with the fans - which also saw him take off his shirt and throw it on the floor - shows that he struggles to control it at times.

Either way, this is a question to which we will likely never know the answer - and you get the feeling the supporters of the Anfield outfit are happy to leave it that way.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are said to be planning a move for this £13.5m-valued youngster.
