Arsenal signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan has spoken of his admiration for Mesut Ozil.

The midfielder is looking forward to combining with Ozil in the Gunners engine room.

"Here at Arsenal I know that lots of players move a lot and it's incredible the way [the team] plays. I will do my best to assist them as well," he told Arsenal Player.

"I think it will be really fun to play alongside Ozil. Everyone knows he's a fantastic player, he's an assist king! I look forward to it.
