Arsenal are ahead of Chelsea in the race for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The Sun says the Gunners are winning the £20million battle with Chelsea for Mkhitaryan.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder, 27, is wanted by both Premier League giants but the Emirates is his preferred destination.

Tottenham are also monitoring the 59-cap Armenia star after he turned down fresh terms with the Bundesliga giants.

Mkhitaryan has a year left on his contract with the German club and has targeted £85,000 a week for his next deal.
