Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has explained how the club's fans and a new chant have helped him amid an impressive run of form this season. The uptake in performances has come along with a new role given to the Switzerland international in recent months by Mikel Arteta.
The Spaniard has looked to use Xhaka in a more advanced position on the left of the midfield, breaking into the box with late runs or playing incisive passes to cut through opposition defences. This has seen him beat his best attacking return in a season after just nine games played.
"His consistency, and how he goes about every day," Arteta said in response to a question on what the midfielder has improved on. "What he’s learnt in different moments of his career, whether here or with the national team. Also his willingness always to stay humble, to look forward and try to get better and when you do that, normally good things happen."
