Chelsea defender: I think Granit Xhaka will be great for Arsenal
ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN believes former team-mate Granit Xhaka has all the tools to be success for Arsenal.
Granit Xhaka’s AMAZING first two goals for Arsenal
The Swiss midfielder is pushing for a start against Chelsea on Saturday (5.30) after two goals in as many games following his £30million summer arrival from Borussia Monchengladbach.
"I think he will be great for Arsenal," Christensen told Goal.
"He has got a big personality, he is great in the dressing room and he is a really confident guy. He plays with a lot of emotion, I think if he can adapt to the English culture, he will be great.

"As a person he can be determined, focused and funny, but he is fun and a nice lad so he is kind of the same as he is on the pitch. He has got a lot of emotions [when he plays] and he just wants to win.
"He is like that outside the pitch as well, he is a good person to have around, he will be good in the Arsenal dressing room. I will text him before the game comes around. It is not that far away!"
