In a recent interview, Xhaka was asked about the comparison between Wirtz, B Fee and Palmer. He believed that the experienced B Fee ranked first, but Wirtz was not bad either.
Xhaka said: "It's difficult to choose because B Fee is the most experienced player among the three. He has proven his strength over the years, not only in the Premier League but also in the national team."
"His statistics in recent years have been incredible and I respect him a lot, so I will rank B Fee first. As for Palmer and Wirtz, I was fortunate enough to work with Wirtz for two years, and many British people will like his performance because he is really excellent. Whether with the ball or without it. Ball movement, I rarely see a No. 10 player of his caliber. "
"At the age of 20 or 21, he can maintain a calm mind before and after training every day, and he will get angry if he loses in training. This is Wirtz. I watched him for two years and I have a lot of respect for Palmer, but I played with Wirtz for two years and I know what he can bring to the Premier League, but hopefully it’s not what he did against Sunderland. Wish him all the best because he deserves it all. "
