'He's a blessing' Pochettino lauds Kane after Spurs beat Arsenal
Morgan trashed the Switzerland international midfielder after a disappointing performance in the 1-0 north London derby defeat at Tottenham.
Xhaka struggled to impose his authority in the engine room before Arsene Wenger rolled the dice by replacing him in the dying stages for forward Danny Welbeck.
Writing on Twitter, Morgan fumed: “Xhaka must be the biggest waste of £35m in football history.”
Xhaka joined Arsenal from Borussia Monchengladbach on a five-year deal in the summer of 2016.
The 25-year-old made 46 appearances in all competitions in his debut campaign but his performances divided the club’s fanbase.

The Gunners could find themselves eight points off the Champions League pace by Monday night.
