Arsenal winger Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to move to AS Roma on a season-long loan deal.
The 30-year-old has struggled for form since joining the Gunners from Manchester United in an exchange deal with Alexis Sanchez – who has already departed for Inter Milan this summer.
Mkhitaryan came off the bench in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with north London rivals Tottenham on Sunday but now looks ready to leave the Emirates Stadium.
It is understood Roma will pay a loan fee as well as covering the Armenia international’s wages for the duration of the loan.
