DM: Granit Xhaka
Trending
With Santi Cazorla injury, Granit Xhaka adopted the full responsibility of creative duties in the midfield. The Swiss international became notorious last season for his varied long-range passing that offered so many problems for the opposition.
In the first few months of the season, Xhaka was labelled as a thug that couldn’t adjust to the pace of the league, but his overall gameplay has improved. Xhaka will only continue to grow into his role as the Gunners have finally found a system that offers him enough protection to control the game.
CM: Aaron Ramsey
No matter what injury he faces or what poor form he showcases, Aaron Ramsey will always be the apple of Arsène Wenger’s eye. The Welshman has been able to maintain his place in Wenger’s starting XI whenever fit and next year will be no different.
With the returning injury-prone Jack Wilshere, perhaps there may be a little competition for the box-to-box role alongside Xhaka. To maintain his role in the team, Ramsey would have to tirelessly run up and down, joining his teammates in both the attacking and defensive phases.
