PREMIER LEAGUE : ARSENAL CAPTAIN GRANIT XHAKA PUSHED TO ‘BOILING POINT’ BY FANS - - “WISH YOUR DAUGHTER GETS CANCER!”

ARSENAL CAPTAIN GRANIT XHAKA HAS ISSUED A PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR HIS 'F**K OFF' INSULT AT FANS DURING ARSENAL'S CLASH AGAINST CRYSTAL PALACE, SUNDAY.

IN A STATEMENT POSTED ON INSTAGRAM, GRANIT XHAKA SAID IT WAS NOT HIS INTENTION TO DISRESPECT THE FANS THAT SUPPORT THE CLUB, AND THAT HE IS SORRY "IF THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT".

XHAKA REVEALED HE HAD BEEN DEEPLY HURT BY REPEATED ABUSE BY FANS, WEEKS AND MONTHS PRIOR, - - ON PITCH AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA - - WHERE PEOPLE SENT HIM HORRIBLE MESSAGES, LIKE: "WISH YOUR DAUGHTER GETS CANCER!", AND "KILL YOUR WIFE", PUSHING HIM TO BOILING POINT.

GRANIT XHAKA HAD A TOTAL MELTDOWN SUNDAY WHILE BEING SUBSTITUTED, YELLING "F**K OFF!" AT FANS, SARCASTICALLY CUPPING HIS EARS AMIDST JEERS AND BOOS, AND IN AN AGGRAVATING BRAVADO, TOOK HIS ARSENAL JERSEY OFF AS HE WAS LEAVING THE PITCH.

THERE HAD BEEN ANGRY DEMANDS TO STRIP HIM OFF OF HIS ARSENAL CAPTAINCY, AS AN IMMEDIATE BACKLASH OF THE INCIDENT -- A MOVE THAT SOME OBSERVERS SAY COULD ACTUALLY TRIGGER A 'DRESSING ROOM REVOLT' IN RETURN, THAT COULD SHAKE ARSENAL.
