And speaking about the Switzerland international, who completed a move to Emirates Stadium for a fee reported to be close to £35million, Wenger noted: “He brings passing ability to play through the lines from deep positions, his work rate, and he’s good in the air. He’s a young boy as well, 23 years old. There’s a lot to come from him.”
Granit Xhaka signed for Arsenal before EURO 2016
Wenger recalled: “We lost three midfielders: Flamini, Rosicky and Arteta, and numbers-wise we are quite solid in midfield now. [Mohamed] Elneny had a big impact when he came here, Coquelin was injured for a long time and is back. Cazorla will come back, Wilshere is back… so we are solid in midfield.”
