Granit Xhaka is stealing the show at Arsenal, and that's tough right now. With Gabriel Jesus' goals, Gabriel Martinelli's timely impact, William Saliba's defensive dominance and Aaron Ramsdale making a mug of everyone he comes across, Gunners fans are excited by their team once more.
Near the top of the growing list of positives is the re-emergence and massive U-turn from Granit Xhaka. The Swiss midfielder is now a fundamental cog in Mikel Arteta's machine and is fighting hard to stop Oleksandr Zinchenko from taking up a midfield spot of his own as well as keeping out Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi Lokonga.
The 30-year-old already has two goals and three assists this season in an advanced left-sided midfield role, more than he got last term - one goal and two assists. He has never scored more than four Premier League goals, only managed six in 108 Bundesliga matches and had scored only one league goal in four of his six league seasons, only getting more than two assists in one season.
