Xhaka: Arsenal atmosphere a different level this season

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka says the club's support has gone to a new level this season.

The Switzerland international has helped the Gunners climb to sixth in the Premier League and they are two points off Manchester United in fourth with three games in hand.

Arsenal head to Watford on Sunday and they are in high spirits after beating Wolves last week with a late winner.

“After six years of now being here, against Spurs [the atmosphere] is always amazing, but I think against Wolverhampton, after 70 minutes, it was in the top three since I have been here," Xhaka said.

“The atmosphere was unbelievable and pushed us until the last moment. People forget sometimes that the fans are so important for us as well."
