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. "
