Arsenal star Granit Xhaka put in awkward spot when asked who he prefers: Mesut Ozil or Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal summer signing Granit Xhaka was put in an uncomfortable position during a recent interview with the German newspaper Blick.

The German outlet asked Xhaka to choose between Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

“Mean question!” Xhaka said in response to Blick’s question.

“If I say Ozil, Alexis is mad at me and vice versa.

“But those two are certainly the best. They have incredible quality!”

Mesut Ozil has failed to hit the standards he set last year. The 28-year-old set up 19 assists last season and was just one assist of matching the Premier League record.

However, Ozil has just managed nine assists and nine goals in 30 appearances for Arsenal so far this season.

Alexis Sanchez meanwhile has been on fire. The Chile international has provided 18 assists and scored 22 goals in 38 games for the Gunners.

The North London based club take on Manchester City next weekend. Arsene Wenger’s side cannot afford to drop any more points after falling six points behind fourth placed Liverpool.
