Granit Xhaka is on course to break his own three-year Arsenal record after William Saliba assist

Granit Xhaka has more than played his part in Arsenal's perfect start to the new season.

In fact, statistics show the Swizterland international is very much on course to register his best return in terms of goals and assists in the Premier League since the 2017/2018 campaign, having already matched his total from the last three seasons from games against Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Bournemouth this term.

Taking only the Premier League into account, in each of the 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, Xhaka only managed to find the back of the net for Arsenal once, and he weighed in with two assists. It's not taken him long to equal that record this season, and he's now one goal contribution away from breaking his own record.
