BVB ready to part ways with Arsenal target Mkhitaryan

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly prepared to sell Henrik Mkhitaryan this summer.

A report from the Daily Mirror suggests that the German club are ready to part ways with the Armenian attacking midfielder after failing to agree a new deal wth him.

It is understood that Mkhitaryan, 27, has refused to put pen to a contract that does not come with a release clause and could now be free to leave the Westfalenstadion.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk star is a strong target for Arsenal who have been given hope in their pursuit after it emerged that BVB may have lost patience.

Additionally, Sport1 reports that Dortmund are closing in on the signature of UANL's Mexico international Jurgen Damm, who would act as a direct replacement for Mkhitaryan.
