Granit Xhaka (£33.8million)
- Bought From: Borussia Monchengladbach (Bundesliga)
- Announced: 25th May
- Age: 23
- Position: Central Defensive Midfield
This is the one that got everything kicked off, and Arsenal had to announce the deal in the most rushed fashion ever due to a leaked image going out before the new kit had been officially released.
But aside from that, Xhaka has made a fantastic impact in the short months he’s been a Gunner, lighting up the Euro’s with two MOTM performances from three group stage games.
Since then, he’s built up his fitness and his presence has since given reason for Jack Wilshere to head out the exit door, meaning Xhaka will be a regular starter this season.
