Mkhitaryan to Arsenal is ‘DONE’: Journalist tweets with Alexis Sanchez set for Man Utd

HENRIKH MKHITARYAN’s move to Arsenal is ‘done’, according to a journalist who calls himself the ‘Armenian King’.
Thibaud Vezirian is a football journalist who hails from Armenia and works on French TV.

And he today took to Twitter to claim he has heard that Mkhitaryan, an Armenia international, has agreed a switch to Arsenal.

He tweeted an Armenian flag and wrote: “The transfer of @HenrikhMkh to @Arsenal, it’s done! Alexis Sanchez go to @ManUtd.”

If true, it’s likely to set the wheels in motion for Alexis Sanchez to complete his move to Manchester United.
United believe they will land Sanchez after matching the Gunners’ valuation of £35million, with Mkhitaryan thrown into a cash plus player deal.

Chelsea last night attempted to hijack Manchester United’s deal but any interest is likely to come too late.

United are understood to have offered him £300,000 a week – or £15m a year. Those sort of figures ensured City went cold on a player for whom they bid £60m last summer.



Etihad sources insist they were not prepared to go to those levels when the player becomes a free agent in the summer.
However, Sanchez’s desperation to quit the Emirates and United’s resolve to gazump their neighbours has played into Arsenal’s hands. It means that Sanchez will not be reuniting with Pep Guardiola, who took him to Barcelona from Udinese in 2011.

City have decided to stick to their guns and Guardiola was in full agreement, especially with Gabriel Jesus expected to be fit again next month.

Mkhitaryan was omitted from United’s squad and Mourinho said: “I don’t think it’s easy for a player to play when there are doubts about his future.”
