Granit Xhaka wants to change the perception of Arsenal after years of falling below expectations.

The Gunners are building towards a strong season and will be hoping to finish in the top-four for the first time since 2016.

"The people who do not see us in the training, for example, do not see how hard we are working," Xhaka told Goal. "They see us only during the 90 minutes.

"Everyone has a good and bad day. That is why I spoke with the club [and asked] 'why can't we bring the fans maybe once a week so they can see us how we train'?

"It is not like we are coming here to waste our time and after we don't care about the 90 minutes. We care more than people think. We can't sleep after the game when we lose. It does not matter if we are home or away.

"No one can see that. This makes me very disappointed and very sad that after that the people start to say,' you didn't give everything for the club, you do that, you did…' This is bullsh*t.

"It is so difficult in England to bring the people to the training ground. In Germany it is different, you have two, three, four thousand people and they come every day."
