Henrikh Mkhitaryan has slammed suggestions that his move to Arsenal in January was merely to supplement Alexis Sanchez’s transfer to Manchester United. Reports Sportbible.
There is the belief that the Armenian’s move to the Emirates Stadium was part of a swap deal – but Mkhitaryan has now denied this.
Sanchez was seemingly itching for a move away from Arsenal, in order to win major trophies as he entered the latter stage of his career, while Mkhitaryan wasn’t receiving the game-time he wanted under Jose Mourinho in the north-west. A move for both made sense.
