Wenger confirms Mkhitaryan’s move is close, gives update on Aubameyang

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is confident he is signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United very soon.

Mkhitaryan is set to be included in the deal that will take Alexis Sanchez to Old Trafford.

“The wages (for Mkhitaryan) would not be a problem.

“This would be an exchange of players and I think one would replace the other. Are we still in the transfer market after that, yes,” Wenger told the media on Thursday morning.

The Gunners boss also revealed Malcom is unlikely to join this window, but refused to rule out a move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

“I have nothing to add. This kind of thing is better when it is secret. You announce it when it is over the line. Nothing else is close,” he added.
