5 Arsenal players who will be crucial to their Premier League title challenge in 2nd half of the season

#3 Granit Xhaka

Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Granit Xhaka has been the foundation of the Gunners' great results this season, even though Thomas Partey has received a lot of praise for his outstanding play.

The 30-year-old Swiss midfielder has become the leader of the side with commanding displays, scoring three goals and setting up another five. Eddie Nketiah scored the equalizer against Manchester United, thanks in large part to Xhaka's exquisite assist.

He has adapted his playing style to Mikel Arteta's football philosophies, and the Gunners are benefiting from his restoration. Given that Arsenal have the youngest team in the Premier League this season, Xhaka's experience will be essential for their promising young players.
