5 Borussia Mönchengladbach Players Newcastle Must Be Wary Of

4. Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka has been continuously linked with Bayern Munich this summer but the midfielder has remained adamant that he will stay with Die Borussen for the upcoming season. The interest from the German Champions arises from the fact the Swiss International is a fantastic football who has developed into a masterful defensive-midfielder. His ball interception and tackling skills are fantastic and he effortlessly dictates the pace of the game from in and around the centre circle. The 22-year-old will most likely play as one part of the double-pivot and will be a constant nuisance for Siem De Jong, Ayoze Perez and Georginio Wijnaldum as they attempt to break down Gladbach's defence.
