Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will hold talks with Granit Xhaka this week to discuss his disciplinary issues, according to The Mirror.
The Switzerland international has not yet completed a full season with the Gunners following his £30m switch from Borussia Monchengladbach last summer, but he has already been sent off twice.
The most recent of which was against Burnley when he was handed his marching orders by referee Jon Moss following a two-footed tackle on Steven Defour.
Despite Xhaka’s dismissal, Arsenal still won the game 2-1 thanks to a 98th-minute penalty from Alexis Sanchez.

The midfielder could serve a four-match ban if the Football Association take into account his disciplinary record.
In October, Xhaka was issued with a straight red card during Arsenal’s 3-2 victory over Swansea City at the Emirates.
The Mirror reports that Wenger is fuming with the 24-year-old and will give him a lecture about his behaviour this week.
Ironically, the Gunners manager is facing disciplinary action of his own after he was charged with misconduct for appearing to shove fourth official Anthony Taylor during Sunday’s game against Burnley.
