Neil Lennon has not been impressed by Arsenal new boy Granit Xhaka.
The midfielder has earned rave reviews for his performances for Switzerland at Euro2016 but new Hibernian manager Lennon is not getting caught up in the hype, likening him to Stoke City's Charlie Adam.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, the ex-Celtic boss said: "I've not been that impressed.
“He [Xhaka] is alright. He reminds me of Charlie Adam."
This prompted some strong reactions from Twitter followers…
Neil Lennon just compared Granit Xhaka to Charlie Adam. No wonder he's awful as a pundit and a failure as a manager. Embarrassing.

Neil Lennon calling Xhaka an 'expensive Charlie Adam' is just a polite way of explaining to us why he is a failure as a manager.
