Important player for the Gunners
In our opinion, Granit Xhaka is an important player for Arsenal and will play a big role for the Gunners this season.
Mikel Arteta’s side are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season and will also feature in the UEFA Europa League.
Xhaka will have to be on top of his game if Arsenal are to be successful this campaign.
We saw against Leicester how good the Switzerland international is.
Xhaka produced as complete a performance as you could ask from a midfielder.
The Swiss broke up Leicester’s attacking players and also drove Arsenal forward.
Xhaka gave an assist as well.
