Mikel Arteta said he wants Granit Xhaka to stay at Arsenal despite interest from Hertha Berlin.

"He played at Bournemouth, he played really well, he was very committed, he played a really good game. After the game he started to feel ill. He had a temperature and he wasn’t feeling good. The last two days he was in bed. That’s why he wasn’t selected [against Chelsea]," said Arteta.

Xhaka was stripped of his captaincy earlier in the season.
