'Now for Mustafi and Xhaka!' - Arsenal fans issue transfer demand as Henrikh Mkhitaryan moves on

He's been something of a divisive figure since arriving at the Emirates Stadium, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan has now moved on.

The Armenian has completed a season-long loan to join Italian giants AS Roma.

The Armenian international, who joined Arsenal in January 2018 as part of a swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United, was flying out to Rome today to complete his medical and the other remaining formalities of the transfer.

Football.london understands the Giallorossi will cover the entirety of Mkhitaryan's £200,000-a-week wages in addition to paying a loan fee which is thought to be in the region of £2.8million.

There will be no option in the agreement for a permanent transfer though if the 30-year-old's time in Rome proves to be a success then Arsenal will be open to selling him.

Mkhitaryan has struggled to find consistency since arriving in the Premier League and will depart Arsenal with a record of nine goals and 13 assists in 59 appearances.

Heres how the Arsenal fans reacted to Mkhitaryan's exit on social media.
