Arsenal midfielder Mkhitaryan: Roma pressure no problem for me

Henrikh Mkhitaryan admits he's now feeling happier at Roma.

The midfielder is on a straight loan at Roma from Arsenal.

He said: "On September 1st, shortly after finishing a game in which I had played with Arsenal, my agent called me to tell me that I would sign for Roma.

"It happened very quickly. At the beginning of the season our goal was to enter the top four, reach the Coppa Italia final and continue as much as possible in the run in the Europa League.

"The pressure here is not a problem for me. Not for my age, but because I played in clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal. People in Rome live for football and this is very nice."
