Granit Xhaka made a £30 million move to Arsenal last week and he has picked his ultimate European Championship team.
In an exclusive feature for Euro 2016’s official Twitter account, Arsenal’s new midfielder and Switzerland star Granit Xhaka has named his greatest all-time European Championship XI.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach man included one former Gunner in his team – the legendary Frenchman Thierry Henry. The Sky Sports pundit was joined in the dream team by compatriot and current Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
