Granit Xhaka's turnaround at Arsenal has been nothing short of impressive. The Switzerland international has gone from being north London's main villain three years ago to now forcing himself as one of Mikel Arteta's undroppable stars.
The 30-year-old's resurgence after that infamous moment at the Emirates Stadium in October 2019 has seen him transform the consensus about him with the Gunners fanbase while also becoming one of the best midfielders in the league this season. Xhaka has scored four goals in all competitions this term - matching his best goalscoring campaign in 2018/19 - after taking up a more advanced role in the middle of the park.
It's not just finding the back of the net where the midfielder has impressed, with his formidable partnership with Thomas Party in front of the defensive line limiting the Gunners to only 11 goals conceded. Many had written his time in the capital off, but Arteta's arrival and belief from the off has reaped the rewards as Arsenal find themselves at the top of the Premier League.
