		</div><p>Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has been interviewed by police following an allegation he racially abused a member of staff at Heathrow airport on Monday evening, Press Association Sport understands.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old Switzerland international was not arrested but visited a local police station after a different party reported the alleged incident.</p>
<p>Xhaka, who was sent off in Arsenal&#8217;s 2-1 win over Burnley on Sunday afternoon, was interviewed under caution with Metropolitan Police confirming the details of the allegation in a statement.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Police were called at 19:29hrs on Monday, 23 January following an allegation that a member of staff had been racially abused at Heathrow Airport, Terminal Five,&#8221;</i> the statement read.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;The allegation was made by a third party.</p>
<p>&#8220;Officers attended and spoke with a man in his 20s. He was not arrested. He voluntarily attended a west London police station where he was interviewed under caution. Enquires continue.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>When contacted by Press Association Sport, Arsenal said: <i>&#8220;This is a private matter which is in the hands of the police.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Xhaka joined the Gunners from Borussia Monchengladbach last summer for a fee in excess of £30million.</p>
<p>He has recently enjoyed a run in the side but will serve a four-match ban having been shown his second red card of the season at the weekend.</p>
