“How much influence does Xhaka have on that dressing room?” Kevin Campell told Football Insider.
“Let’s be honest, he is not the greatest player. People look up to him in the dressing room and I’m not sure why. Is it because of his leadership or it is just because he is one of the most senior players?
“He has not achieved much in his five years a the club. A player that has not been a standout but wields a lot of power.
“I think this is a good thing that he is moving on, I really do. There needs to be a shift in the dressing room. Arteta needs better players in that midfield.”
The 28-year-old is edging closer to joining Roma after 5 years with Arsenal.
Since joining the Gunners the midfielder has made 220 appearances scoring 13 goals and bagging 20 assists.
