Arsenal goalkeeper Okonkwo: Xhaka (and one other) scare me in training

Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo admits Granit Xhaka's shooting power scares him.

The Swiss star's ability to strike a ball cleanly was on full display last weekend when he bagged a rocket of a goal during the home clash against top four rivals Manchester United.

Pressed on who has the most powerful strike in the Arsenal team, Okonkwo told Goal : "The hardest shot? Eddie Nketiah can hit the ball.

"Granit [Xhaka] as well. He doesn't do much finishing so I always forget about him, but when he does, you know about it!

"I would say those are the people to be afraid of in training."
