The former Manchester United winger is closing in on a transfer to Italy while Shkodran Mustafi may also leave north London on Monday

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has arrived in Italy to complete a season-long loan move from Arsenal to Roma as the European transfer window prepares to close.

Mkhitaryan has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium this season following the arrivals of Nicolas Pepe and Dani Ceballos.

Reiss Nelson’s return from his loan spell at Hoffenheim and the emergence of Joe Willock have created further competition in attacking midfield roles, and as such Mkhitaryan faces watching much of the campaign from the Emirates Stadium sidelines.
