Granit Xhaka scored his third goal of the season in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over PSV to take the Gunners five points clear at the top of Group A in the Europa League. This was his sixth goal contribution of the season, a credit to the 30-year-old for not only adjusting but flourishing.
That said, perhaps the adjustment is completely misunderstood. The former official Arsenal captain has always shown these qualities for Switzerland but is now displaying them for the Gunners.
Whilst playing so many games, he has been partnered with both Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga depending on both fitness, availability and rotation. Both players contrast in ability, natural position and experience.
