Over the past few seasons, it has been abundantly clear to see that Granit Xhaka has been the aggressor at Arsenal, often getting involved in on-pitch disagreements, altercations and taking the fall for his teammates following poor results and rash decisions.
Xhaka has been a controversial figure during his spell at the Emirates but no one can question his commitment to protecting his teammates even if sometimes he goes too far. This is especially evident after what was aired in Arsenal's All or Nothing series on Amazon Prime when he said 'It's okay guys, I'll take all the blame as always' when speaking to Saka and some of his team-mates at London Colney after a defeat and red card at Anfield.
However, this season with Xhaka in the form of his career the Switzerland international has veered away from that side of his game and is starting to contribute further up the pitch now that he has been urged to join the attack as an 8.
