How Would Xhaka Improve Arsenal?

Arsene Wenger would be managing Arsenal for the 20th season in the 2016/17 season of the English Premier League.

Many football fans expected Wenger to call it a day after Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur competed for the title right to the end before Spurs slipped on the final day and Arsenal placed second.

Wenger has silenced many people who claimed he was too economical with his signings by acquiring the services of Mesut Ozil in 2013 and following it up with Alexis Sanchez in 2014.

On May 25, 2016 Arsenal signed Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach for a reported fee of 35 million pounds.

Arsenal badly need a striker to support Olivier Giroud upfront but his performances at the Euro has given fans renewed hope that he can help fire Arsenal to the Premier League title.

Xhaka's contribution to the Swiss national team was unparalleled at the Euros. His telepathic play with Shakiri sent Switzerland to the Round of 16 but Xhaka became the victim as he missed Switzerland's second spot kick against Poland.

Xhaka to Increase Competition for Spots At Arsenal

Arsenal's continued failure in the Champions League sailed on as they were knocked out of the competition in the Round of 16 for the sixth consecutive time to FC Barcelona.

Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Coquelin could not absorb the pressure and cohesive play of Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic who served as a direct link to Neymar, Suarez and Messi.

Coquelin is the only tackler and ball winner for Arsenal and the addition of Xhaka to the team would give him the support he needs to help him add an attaking play to his game.

Xhaka is the answer to what Arsenal has been lacking since Alexander Song left the Club in 2012.

Jack Wilshere has been injury prone but always comes out of injury and claim his position in the team. Everything's going to change with the arrival of Xhaka as he is a competitive midfielder who believes in hard work and dedication as he solely demonstrated in the German Bundesliga.

Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla are in for a fantastic season as more chances are coming their way thanks to the energ Xhaka would be adding to the team.

Arsenal needs a striker to supplement the services of Giroud but Arsene Wenger has not gotten it wrong because Xhaka would provide both a defensive and attacking intent towards lifting Arsenal to their first Premier League title since 2004 and make a huge step in the chase for the Champions League.
