Arsenal youngster Kido Taylor-Hart has told Football.London that midfielder Granit Xhaka likes to talk to young players a lot.
Taylor-Hart is part of the Arsenal Under-23 team, but the 19-year-old winger has trained with Mikel Arteta’s senior side on occasions.
The Hale End academy graduate has said that while training at London Colney, he has noticed that senior midfielder and Switzerland international midfielder Xhaka talks a lot to the young players.
Kido Taylor-Hart on Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka
Taylor-Hart told Football.London: “I know some of the younger guys like Bukayo (Saka), Emile (Smith Rowe) and Eddie (Nketiah). They all talk to me.
“There are a few of the older players who are quite vocal. Granit (Xhaka), he likes to talk to the young players a lot.”
Encouraging
In our opinion, it is very encouraging to hear that Xhaka speaks to Arsenal youngsters a lot.
The 29-year-old is a senior player at Arsenal and was also previously the club captain.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta rates Xhaka highly and has often spoken highly of him.
The Switzerland international is a very good midfielder whose importance to the current Arsenal team cannot be undermined.
After all, Xhaka has played 23 times in the Premier League this season, scoring one goal and providing two assists in the process.
The midfielder is showing remarkable leadership skills off the pitch by talking to the young players and helping them.
That shows how much Xhaka cares about Arsenal and about the team.
