Mikel Arteta: I convinced Granit Xhaka to stay at Arsenal

Arteta: "[Xhaka] thought about it, he had a very positive response afterwards, and I think he changed his mind.



A news from  Sky sports confirm that Granit Xhaka is willing to change his mind after the Arsenal head coach Arteta convinced him about his future at Arsenal, with the midfielder now poised to stay at the club. 
Xhaka looked set to be on his way out of the Emirates after his outburst at fans who booed him off the pitch during their clash against Crystal Palace in October, in an incident which cost him his captaincy.
The midfielder's agent even claimed he agreed terms with Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin in December, but the Arsenal head coach has revealed that the pair held positive talks about the Swiss international's future.
"The first message for him was that I wanted to understand how he was feeling, why he was feeling that way," Arteta said

"I wanted him to hear from me my opinion on him, and that I was ready to support him and that I was ready to push the club to be supportive of him too, because I thought he could be a really, really good player for us and he could enjoy playing under me in this football club.  "I tried to convince him that way. He thought about it, he had a very positive response afterwards, and I think he changed his mind."  The incident in October sparked a controversial few months for Xhaka, who wrote a letter to Arsenal fans explaining how he and his family had been targeted on social media, which had seen him reach a "boiling point" on the Emirates pitch.
Granit Xhaka looks set to stay at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta after a controversial few months But according to Arteta, it is almost impossible to avoid such incidents and it is not unusual to see animosity and divides between players and fans. "It's very common now," said Arteta. "Every club has its own issues. Some things come within the club, some within the media, some from social media. "It's very difficult nowadays to have one full year where everything is perfect. It's the environment, we have to deal with that and hopefully in a few months nobody remembers those issues. "Of course it's not ideal when players respond and it creates an instability. So as much as we can avoid it, the better."

Republicans 'must keep their promise to Americans' on health care - President Trump

Ahead of his scheduled lunch with Republican senators, President Donald Trump wrote online on Wednesday that GOP lawmakers “MUST keep their promise to America” by voting to do away with the Affordable Care Act. Trump also predicted that his lunchtime meeting would improve the proposal tabled late Monday night by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “I will be having lunch at the White House today with Republican Senators concerning healthcare. They MUST keep their promise to America!” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning. “The Republicans never discuss how good their healthcare bill is, & it will get even better at lunchtime. The Dems scream death as OCare dies!” The president’s latest push to repeal and replace his predecessor’s signature healthcare legislation, also known by its nickname, Obamacare, collapsed this week when enough Republican senators announced their opposition to a GOP leadership-backed bill that would have undone the controversial law.
