Arsenal boss Arteta: Why Xhaka is playing so well

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta feels Granit Xhaka's settled family life has helped his form.

Xhaka has returned to his best this season.

Arteta said today: "[It's due to] things that are happening in his life, his private life, he's a father now.

"He's been through a lot, he's been through difficult moments here, he's found a lot of support internally to deal with certain situations.

"His character, the way he approaches problems, how he's willing to change things, improve constantly, to become a better person and a better player, so credit to him for what he's done. "
