Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka admits his fortunes with the club have changed thanks to manager Mikel Arteta.

After butting heads with many of the club's fans, Xhaka appeared to be on his way out at Arsenal, especially after being stripped of the captaincy.

But following the arrival of Arteta last December, the Swiss admits that things have changed dramatically for him.

“Until this day the words he gave me was exactly what I wanted to hear and for me it was very important to show I will give everything for the club and the fans," he said of Arteta.

“I'm sure we're going to be back in the Champions League next season."
