Arsenal in transfer talks to sell Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Roma
Arsenal are in negotiations to sell £Armenian national team captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Roma, according to report by The Sun.
It is reported that the Armenian has spent the season on loan at the Serie A club and has made 17 appearances in all competitions this campaign. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is keen to offload the midfielder as he plots a summer overhaul of players. The Spaniard wants to reduce the wage bill and bring in extra transfer funds in order to land his transfer targets.
According to Italian publication Calcio Mercato, Roma are keen to make the move a permanent one despite his struggles with injuries this season.
The source reminds that Mkhitaryan moved to Arsenal from Manchester United as part of an Alexis Sanchez swap deal in 2018.
