Former Chelsea and England national football squad midfielder Frank Lampard has reflected on the expected swap deal involving Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Arsenal’s Chilean forward Alexis Sánchez.
“Manchester United get the best deal out of that,” Express newspaper quoted Lampard as saying. “No disrespect to Mkhitaryan because we have only seen glimpses but in terms of Arsenal, is he what Arsenal needs? Really?
“I’m not sure.
“He’s part of the deal but is he what they need in terms of going forward?”
The captain of the Armenian national team has arrived in London, where he will undergo a medical at Arsenal.
Sánchez has already undergone a medical at Manchester United.
The transfer deal involving these two footballers is expected to be announced either Monday or Tuesday.
