Discover the fate of three of Arsenal’s standout first-team players under Ian Wright and their subsequent journeys under Mikel Arteta.
What happened to Arsenal’s three first-team stars?
Granit Xhaka
Granit Xhaka, who faced criticism from Wright, is still part of Arsenal’s squad. After the incident at the end of 2020, Xhaka remained at the club and is a regular presence in the squad. Although he has had his ups and downs in terms of performance, he has also shown improvement under manager Mikel Arteta. Xhaka continues to play a significant role in Arsenal’s midfield.

William
Willian’s time at Arsenal proved disappointing, as Wright pointed out. After joining the club in the summer of 2020, the Brazilian winger failed to make a significant impact and fell short of expectations. In August 2021, after just one season, Willian terminated his contract with Arsenal by mutual consent. After leaving, he returned to his native Brazil. However, there is no current information to suggest he has joined Fulham, as mentioned in the original statement.

Alexandre Lacazette
Alexandre Lacazette, another player highlighted by Wright, stayed at Arsenal for an extra season after the incident at the end of 2020. However, when his contract expired in the summer of 2022, he decided to leave the club. Lacazette has returned to his former club, Lyon, in France. Since his departure from Arsenal, Lacazette has experienced a resurgence of form. In the 2021-2022 season. he enjoyed a fruitful stay at Lyon, showing his attacking quality by scoring 27 goals in 35 Ligue 1 appearances.
