Jamie Carragher has hailed Granit Xhaka as his signing of the season - overlooking Liverpool's summer acquisitions. Shortly after joining Regis Le Bris' squad, Xhaka was appointed captain, and the former Emirates stalwart has rapidly become an indispensable player for Sunderland as the team adjusts to life back in the Premier League.

Xhaka has been ever-present, not missing a single minute of Sunderland's first 10 Premier League matches. "When you think of someone who's influential on their team, I've been calling Manchester City the Erling Haaland team, but is there anyone right now in the Premier League having a bigger influence on their club than Granit Xhaka?

Because there will come a stage this season where Sunderland go a few games without picking points up." Xhaka hadn't anticipated a return to the Premier League after his departure from Arsenal. "I didn't expect to come back to the Premier League after going to Germany, but in football you never know where you land," he said.
