The two players have enjoyed strong starts to their Arsenal careers.
Former Premier League defender Trevor Sinclair has praised Arsenal’s summer signings Granit Xhaka and Shkodran Mustafi while speaking to BBC Sport.
Midfielder Xhaka was the first of the Gunners’s summer signings when he completed a big money move from Borussia Monchengladbach.
He caught they eye of the Arsenal fan base during the summer as he played a starring role for Switzerland at Euro 2016.
He has since become a firm fan favourite early into his career at the Emirates Stadium, with fans enjoying the physical presence that he has added to the Gunners midfield and Sinclair is the latest to offer up his praise.
“I have been very impressed with Granit Xhaka. He is tall, rangy, athletic and has a great range of passing. He will bring something to this Arsenal team,” he told BBC Sport.
Fellow summer recruit Shkodran Mustafi has also impressed the former defender.
The German centre-back was brought to the Emirates late in the summer transfer window in a switch from Valencia.
Many an eyebrow was raised by the fee the Gunners paid for his services but he has since gone on to prove his worth, forming a solid partnership with Laurent Koscielny in the heart of Arsenal’s defence.
And Sinclair believes that he is proving to be worth every penny of the price that Arsene Wenger’s side paid.
“Shkodran Mustafi is worth every single penny of the £30m-odd that Arsenal paid for him,” he added.
