Wenger: Granit Xhaka reminds me of this Arsenal legend…

The World Cup victor has become the third major signing of the summer for Arsenal following Granit Xhaka and Lucas Perez’s moves to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal’s next game will be after the global break.

” Watford went for it absolutely because we couldn’t score the fourth goal and because we dropped physically and I think that we win games here but they are physically very strong, very determined”.

“They will integrate into the team now and we will help them”, said the manager.

Wenger told Arsenal’s official website: “I said before the season started that we will get a different Theo Walcott this year”.

‘We have bought two players Mustafi and Perez.

The Gunners manager has started the England global in the first three matches and set up a goal for Alexis Sanchez in the north London club’s 3-1 win over Watford.

Wenger is extremely proud of the club’s record of playing in the Champions League every single season he has been running the club – another factor which drew Mustafi to the Emirates.

“We had to work very hard to get signings done”.

“We have no plans for anyone else now”.

“I hope he has no [injury] setback because he is an intelligent player, he is focused and has a great desire to prove his critics wrong and he’s on a good way”.

“It’s important that a player who comes from Bolton, comes to a club where he concedes four goals in the first game at home, he has to play under huge pressure at Leicester and today he performs the way he does”.

Kaboul, the former Tottenham and Sunderland defender, endured a torrid Watford debut, but is confident things will improve. “I’m happy that you noticed that”.

“Now Mesut is almost there, not completely, but he just goes again”.

The pressure had been on Wenger and his side heading into the weekend after flawless starts from both Manchester clubs had left them playing catch-up.
