Arsenal fans in hysterics after thinking Granit Xhaka had joined Love Island – which turned out to be lookalike Billy
ARSENAL fans have been left in hysterics after thinking Granit Xhaka had featured on this summer’s Love Island.
Xhaka look-a-like Billy Brown, 23, entered the dating TV show at Casa Amor.
But after a number of failed romances, Billy was voted out of the villa and headed back to the UK for the final stretch of pre-season.
One fan said: “Who sent Granit Xhaka into Love Island please?”
Another tweeted: “Granit Xhaka enjoying his pre-season I see.”
Others hailed Love Island for drawing such a big name to the show.

Xhaka prominently featured for Arsenal throughout pre-season, including the 6-0 win over Sevilla.
