Arsenal bound Henrikh Mkhitrayan has been spotted in London with agent Mino Raiola ahead of his move from Manchester United.

Reports on Saturday evening claimed the Armenian playmaker had agreed a deal to join the Gunners, with Alexis Sanchez going to Old Trafford in a straight swap.

After an impressive first season in Manchester, the former Borussia Dortmund man has struggled under Jose Mourinho this season, with the Portuguese pushing him to the fringes of the squad.

After Arsene Wegner confirmed following a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace that Sanchez was travelling to Manchester in order to further the progress on the deal, Sky Sports News reporter Bryan Swanson posted an image of Mkhitaryan in London on Twitter.

The 28-year-old has scored 13 goals and assisted another 11 in his 63 appearances for Manchester United since making the move from Germany in 2016.

Mkhitaryan is reportedly set to undergo a medical in north London within the next two days.
