Big player for Arsenal

In our view, Granit Xhaka is one of the best and most important players at Arsenal.

The Swiss has really stepped up his game this season and is looking very mature on the pitch.

Xhaka is not getting into any unnecessary challengers, and he is looking very calm under pressure.

Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment and are doing extremely well at the moment.

The North London club have also progressed from the group stage of he UEFA Europa League this campaign.

For Arsenal to be successful this season, in our view, Xhaka will have to maintain his current high level.
