Xhaka can also play as an attacking midfielder as he can play offensively as well as defensively. The midfielder has always delivered during crucial moments and has been one of the most exciting midfielders in the Premier League at the moment.

Unai Emery had stated that a player like Xhaka adds a lot of strength in the team because of his ability to outclass the best defenses with his precise passing and ball control. Xhaka has been quite a handful because of his ability to dictate play from deep.

The 26-year-old can also outfox the opposition’s defense with his set-piece ability and shot power. He has also showcased his ability to win aerial duels and has had his fair share of interceptions and ball recoveries.

The former Borussia Monchengladbach player has notched up 4 goals in 18 Premier League games this season with 1 assist to his name. Xhaka's presence adds a lot of fluency in this Arsenal outfit. Known for his excellent playmaking skills, the Swiss is considered one of the best midfielders from his nation.
