Granit Xhaka is the member of the Arsenal team that, according to Patrick Vieira, most reminds him of himself, according to Mikel Arteta. Since joining the Gunners in 2016, the 29-year-old has struggled to get praise, but his play has recently improved.
This season, in both the Premier League and the Europa League, Xhaka has started every match for the north London team. The international player from Switzerland has actually participated in all but two minutes of Arsenal’s games so far this season, contributing a few goals and even donning the captain’s armband.
