Arsenal hero Martin Keown can't see Granit Xhaka staying with the Gunners long-term.

Xhaka had a torrid time against Tottenham on Sunday and conceded a penalty when he brought down Son Heung-min in the area.

Harry Kane converted from the spot to give Spurs a 2-0 lead before strikes from Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rescued a point for the Gunners.

"This is what Xhaka does," Keown wrote in his column in the Daily Mail. "He is like a fire engine that turns up and discovers the house has already burned down - he's that late!

"He does more damage than good when it comes to tackling, so no wonder [Arsene] Wenger told him to stop trying.

"I suspect Xhaka may be on borrowed time in this team. He could soon find himself behind others in the pecking order."
