Manchester United star Mkhitaryan is wanted by Arsenal as part of a deal that will see Alexis Sanchez move to Old Trafford as his replacement.

The Armenia international has blown hot and cold during his time with the Red Devils, shining in Europe but often struggling with the physical demands of the Premier League.

But, despite that, Arsenal want him at the Emirates.

And the Daily Mail say the 28-year-old has agreed to leave Manchester United for the Gunners despite initially having doubts about a move to north London.

It is said Mkhitaryan’s state of mind is key, with the player also eyeing an improvement on his £140,000 a week wages.
