Ex-Arsenal ace Granit Xhaka shines into Europe’s top midfielder with impressive stats. Granit Xhaka, the former Arsenal captain, has made a significant impact at his new club Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso and the team’s 3-4-3 formation, Xhaka has excelled in a new role as a supporting midfielder.. Despite not scoring or assisting directly, Xhaka has become a key playmaker, providing 12 chances for his teammates. In fact, he leads Europe’s top seven leagues in passes into the final third with a total of 129. Xhaka’s passing accuracy is also remarkable, with over 93 percent success rate on nearly 100 passes per game. His technical ability has greatly benefited his attacking teammates, such as striker Victor Boniface, attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, and versatile wide-man Jonas Hofmann, who have all contributed significantly to Leverkusen’s success this season. Even the wing-backs, Jeremie Frimpong and Alejandro Grimaldo, have thrived thanks to Xhaka’s influence. Leverkusen’s impressive performances have put them at the top of the Bundesliga table, and if Xhaka can maintain his form and fitness, they could pose a serious challenge to perennial champions Bayern Munich for the league title.
