A better comparison might be Kai's first X games to Xhaka's first X games as an advanced 8 in 433, dating from his return at Goodison in December 2021.

In his first 15 matches in the role (PL only), Xhaka had one assist. (And had enjoyed two whole years of working with Arteta prior, though in a worse Arsenal side.)

In his first 15 (PL+CL) Kai has 3G+1A. (With no prior Arteta experience, if in a much better side.)

What he hasn't done is started this season with a purple patch like the one Xhaka had last season, where he had 3G+3A in his first 15 (PL+EL).

But then he only had 2 assists in a run of 14; Kai will have plenty of opportunity to catch up.

I love Granit but two of his goals came in our end of season dead rubber, didn’t they?

Yup.

And two assists in the Chelsea match after the league was gone.
