The former Arsenal central defender made the comments on Gunners star Xhaka’s latest Instagram post.

The Switzerland international midfielder has played 201 Premier League matches for Arsenal so far in his career.

Xhaka has scored 13 goals and created 18 big chances in those matches.

The £30 million (Sky Sports)  star is delighted to have become only the 17th Arsenal player to play 200 or more Premier League matches.

Important player for the Gunners

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

The 30-year-old is looking very mature on the pitch now and is not getting unnecessary yellow or red cards.

Xhaka is not making rash challenges and looks to have realised that he needs to calm down on the pitch.

Arsenal are aiming to win the Premier League title this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side have also progressed to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Europa League this campaign..

For Arsenal to be successful in the Premier League and in Europe this season, in our opinion, Xhaka will have to be on top of his game.
