Granit Xhaka sent the Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern into a frenzy after his stunning goal against Hull City on the weekend.
The suave Swiss has already become somewhat of a cult hero in North London amongst our drinkers, despite only arriving a matter of months ago.
Arsene Wenger has used the 23-year-old rather sparingly since splashing out a reported £35m to sign him over the course of the summer, leading to many Gunners propping up the bar wondering where he is.
For so long, the Emirates giants have lacked a true midfield enforcer and the former Borussia Monchengladbach certainly has the physical frame to act as one.
The fact he can also bag 30-yard screamers at the drop of a hat has also sent him into the hearts of the North London locals, who’ve since taken to Twitter to beg Arsene Wenger to play him more frequently.
Included are SEVEN of the best.
What are you thinking?!
You have to wonder what the thinking is not starting Xhaka every game #startXhaka

Bad Memories
I just realised I’m thinking Wenger will play Xhaka because of that goal but I think back to Elneny’s v Barca & I realised it means nothing
