Arsenal fans utterly lose their sh*t as they get their first look at Granit Xhaka

Let's be honest, even though Euro 2016 is still new and exciting, we doubt very many people will have organised their day around the Group A clash between Albania and Switzerland.

But for Arsenal fans, there was a good reason to watch the early afternoon kick-off in Lens. With the season barely finished, Arsene Wenger was quick to complete the deal for Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka. A Swiss international, this was the first opportunity for many Gooners to cast their eye over their new signing. Up against the world football super power of Albania, Xhaka (whose brother was playing on the opposite side) instantly impressed supporters of his new club. https://twitter.com/Curri180893/status/741645307948236800 https://twitter.com/Bxllerin/status/741646721822957568 And why not? Not only did he show that he was decent on the ball and could pick out a pass, he had something that very few Arsenal midfielders of recent years have had... he could put a tackle in. https://twitter.com/AFCOllieJD/status/741621795460112384 https://twitter.com/sean_esq55/status/741617183785095168 Already, they were daring to dream what he could bring to the North London derby... https://twitter.com/WelshWizxrd/status/741622432734273536 In just 90 minutes of football against Albania, he had already proven that he was one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. https://twitter.com/IwobiFan/status/741640388751020032 And more than that, for some, he's almost certainly the man that can end their wait for Premier League glory. https://twitter.com/AlexisGoal/status/741621819938099200 So what do you lot reckon?
