Haven't really been frequenting the transfer side of things until now.

Did anyone have their eye on this guy before Wenger swooped?
Never heard of him myself.

Replacement for Teta, Flamini and Rosicky all rolled into one player?
What's his injury record?

Never heard of him either.

What are his top achievements in his career thus far?

Can he fight as well as play nice football? Speak English? Is he a leader? Does he have social media?

the basic scouting report:

  • big and strong
  • rocket left foot
  • great range of passing
  • bit of a hothead
  • not really fast/quick
  • natural leadership abilities
  • cool last name

What about a cool first name....hard as Granit?

xhaka's name has occasionally been bandied about on here in the last 18 months

he's a little bit young schweini, a little bit xabi alonso, and he's a lefty

 fair play, he was the first person to tweet that we were seriously in for xhaka.

 itk on the rise

He makes aggressive slide tackles and gets carded a lot, so the answer in England is "yes".

He'll certainly help to change the attitude in our squad. He's spikey

Thanks.

Pablo Camden is a legit ITK

Cheers.

Reading around it seems that is the consensus.

I also saw him compared to Dele Alli

He's the captain of Mönchengladbach and Switzerland at 23, he plays like Alonso/Arteta as a DLP, he's proper hard on the pitch. Ticks all the boxes we need.

I hope we pair him with Cazorla, with Coq, Elneny and Wilsh as their backups. Ramsey will probably be involved higher up the pitch, meaning we wont buy a genuine wide-forward.

I think Mr X was eluding to this a while back when he said we were actively pursuing a player with dark hair

Not a big fan of the ear jewels.

Been doing some research. Hearing he is Lorik Cana meets Manu Petit.

His favourite film is Every Given Sunday.

Whatever happened to Cana? In our desperation for a DM, us Arsenal fans have resorted to begging the Lord Wenger for some god awful midfielders like Cana and M'Vila.

Can see him forming a good partnership with Ramsey actually.

But that said any of these look tasty

-----Xhaka--Wilshere

-----Xhaka--Ramsey

-----Xhaka - Zelalem

-----Ganit--Coq
