Former Arsenal midfielder Xhaka has emerged as Best signing of the season, taken Sunderland to top four

By Akpo Esco

Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka was called the signing of the season - and then came his biggest contribution so far.

When the Black Cats signed the now 33-year-old from Bayer Leverkusen for £13m in the summer, they could not have believed how well it would go.

The Switzerland midfielder's effort from outside the box earned Sunderland a 1-1 home draw with Everton that took them back into the top four in the Premier League.

That is a Champions League spot, a quarter of the way through the season, for the promoted side.

He must be the signing of the season," said ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports before the game.

Is there anyone in the Premier League having such impact arguably not, as he is for now the man in the pitch as a new signing in the premier league
