Granit Xhaka has appeared to have inadvertently leaked Arsenal's new home shirt.
The Gunners are full of confidence after back-to-back wins against Chelsea and Manchester United, winning 4-2 at Stamford Bridge last week before clinching a 3-1 victory against United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Swiss international Xhaka was instrumental in both matches, delivering two excellent displays and even netted a wonder strike against the Red Devils to make it 3-1 to the home side.
Now, the former Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder may have accidentally leaked the north Londoners' home strip for the 2022/23 campaign. Xhaka visited local business 'Chip Inn Fish Bar' in Islington, a restaurant that Aaron Ramsdale recently went to, and some eagle-eyed Arsenal supporters spotted the 29-year-old wearing a red shirt with a collar that is reminiscent of leaked pictures of the club's apparent new strip.

Xhaka has enjoyed an extremely solid campaign and has been vital for the Gunners this term, registering 6.19 passes into the final third and 5.72 progressive passes per 90 minutes in the Premier League, as per fbref. And he will be hoping he can help his side secure a place in next season's UEFA Champions League, with Mikel Arteta's men currently fourth in the league, two points clear of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Next up for Arteta and his side is West Ham United on Sunday afternoon and the Spaniard was coy when asked about a potential top-four finish. "I don’t know this changes so quickly", he said when asked if it was a straight shootout between the two north London rivals for fourth.
"My belief is that we are going to give it a real go, we can win football matches but the margins are going to be really small and we have to be very aware of that. Winning and losing in this league and where we are today is defined by the small margins and we have to take the game where we want to win in the 95 minutes."
