Arsenal midfielder: Mkhitaryan is an excellent player

Midfielder for Arsenal and the Switzerland national team, Granit Xhaka also expressed his opinion about the possible transfer of Mancheter United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Express reported.

"I only know him [Mkhitaryan] really from the Bundesliga and I've played against him a couple of times in the Premier League as well. He's an excellent player, with lots of qualities, but I can't really say much more to it because I am not really sure what's true and what's really happening," Xhaka noted.

According to earlier reports, Adidas stores have begun to sell Manchester United shirts with Alexis Sanchez's name printed on the back.

Manchester United and Arsenal are expected to announce the deal soon when Mkhitaryan will move to Arsenal, while Alexis Sanchez in the opposite direction.

Some reports suggested that the only issue, which is standing in the way of the deal, is financial problem. The 28-year-old Armenian midfielder joined MU training on Thursday.

During the media conference earlier today, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he liked “that player”.
