Murray brilliantly trolls Federer by cheekily saying there is a better sports star from Basel.. and he plays for Arsenal

Published on October 26, 2022 at 01:49 AM

ANDY MURRAY has trolled tennis legend Roger Federer by saying the best Basel-born sports star plays for Arsenal.

Federer, 41, retired from professional tennis last month with his final match coming in the Laver Cup, teaming up with long-time rival Rafael Nadal against Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock.

Unfortunately, the Swiss star lost alongside his pal in a final tie-breaker.

Nonetheless, Federer retired as one of tennis’ greats, winning 20 Grand Slams in his long career.

But old rival Murray trolled Ferderer by saying there’s a better Basel-born sports ace, who happens to live and ply his trade in North London.

Scotsman Murray is, of course, referring to Arsenal‘s Granit Xhaka, whose zero to hero story has been some watch.

Speaking to Aargauer Zeitung, Andy Murray said: “I messaged Roger [Federer], when I landed in Basel, and I said: ‘I just touched down in the city of one of the world’s greatest ever athletes: Granit Xhaka. I know that Granit Xhaka is from here.’

“I’m a huge Arsenal fan. Xhaka is playing really, really well this season.

“He scored another wonderful goal on Sunday.”;

The Gunners midfielder has four goals and three assists across all competitions, and has helped his side top the Premier League.

Despite being famously stripped of the captaincy, and at odds with fans in 2019, Xhaka still remains one of the main leaders in the Arsenal dressing room and even wears the armband in club captain Martin Odegaard’s absence.

Xhaka wearing the armband was once thought unthinkable, but fans are now signing his name week-in-week-out.

Xhaka is the better Basel-born sports star, according to Murray
