Arsenal have had numerous problems over the last few seasons that have held them back from being a serious Premier League contender. A lack of quality, a misplaced attitude, a manager who was ultimately too stubborn to adapt.
There is hope that with a restructuring of the club, a fresh approach led by executive Raul Sanllehi, recruiter Sven Misltintat and coach Unai Emery that the Gunners will take a step forward and return to a level where they can be one of the best in England and in Europe.
There are still changes and tweaks to be made and the ideal may not even come to fruition, but the sooner Arsenal can get rid of Granit Xhaka, the sooner they are likely to start achieving.
