He endured a mixed experience in North London before eventually becoming a fan favourite.
The midfielder's captaincy was revoked in 2019 after he told Arsenal fans to "f*** off" during a match against Crystal Palace.
But supporters were devastated last summer when he completed a £21.5million move to Bayer Leverkusen.
Since returning to Germany, Xhaka has been one of Leverkusen's star players.
