“It is a great honour for me to be able to play for Servette as a Geneva boy. I wanted that from an early age,” Imeri told Blick who then asked about influences on his career and role models, specifically asking about Granit Xhaka.
“He’s certainly a role model for me,” Imeri replied. “But to get that far, I still have to work hard on myself.”
Imeri is known as ‘Bulldog’ due to his aggressiveness on the pitch, although he has only seen red once (for two yellows).
Granit Xhaka, meanwhile, has seen red 11 times throughout his career, with four straight reds and seven for two yellows.
Three of those straight reds have come during his time at Arsenal with Jon Moss issuing two of them and two of the three came against Burnley (the other was against Swansea).
