Arsenal star Granit Xhaka has been one of the standout performers for the Gunners this season, thanks to a major tactical tweak from Mikel Arteta.
Xhaka's career at the Emirates Stadium has seen many ups and downs, but the Swiss midfielder has proved to be an influential figure both on and off the pitch. The 30-year-old is now operating in a new role in midfield for Arsenal, seeing him register five goal contributions in nine Premier League appearances so far this term.
His form has seen him dubbed as the Gunners 'own Kevin De Bruyne' and it's mainly down to Arteta deploying the Switzerland international in a no.8 role alongside Thomas Partey and club captain Martin Odegaard. Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown hailed Xhaka as "the new Arsenal's fans favourite", further highlighting the improved relationship between the players and supporters.
