Arsenal have confirmed that they have signed Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United, with Alexis Sanchez joining the Old Trafford.

Mkhitaryan has had a successful beginning with the Red Devils, scoring one goal and providing five assists during the opening month of the campaign.

However, the Armenia international has spent the majority of the past two months on the sidelines.

The former Borussia Dortmund man still had two-and-a-half years left on his current contract at Old Trafford, but the 29-year-old eventually agreed to a fresh start at the north London outfit.

The Gunners have not disclosed the duration of Mkhitaryan’s contract, but it has been stated as “a long-term” deal.
