The Swiss international who cost £35million from Borussia Monchengladbach claims the money shelled out by other Premier League sides has left him speechless.
The 25-year-old who has not convinced since his switch from the Bundesliga in 2015 is adamant the North Londoners will soon eat up the gap on the leaders.
Xhaka said: "We are into our stride, and we have the top of the table back in our sights.
"I am happy with things. I am a regular for one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and I want to progress still further.
"Getting straight back into the Champions League next season will be very important for us.
"But our opponents are paying record amounts for players.
