Behind the numbers of Xhaka's 200 PL games

Granit Xhaka became just the 17th Arsenal player to reach a double-century of Premier League appearances at the end of October.

The midfielder brought up the milestone in the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest, six years and two months after making his debut.

He’s also just the sixth midfielder of ours to reach the mark, after Ray Parlour (333 games), Patrick Vieira (279), Aaron Ramsey (262), Freddie Ljungberg (216) and Cesc Fabregas (212).

Granit’s debut came against Liverpool at the Emirates on August 14, 2016. He missed only six league games that season, and was ever-present the next.
