Manchester United legend Andrei Kanchelskis believes that Arsenal target Aleksandr Golovin would be a huge success at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have widely been linked with a move for Aleksandr Golovin recently and reports from Russia have claimed that the Gunners are close to securing the services of the 21-year-old for a fee of around £10million.

"If he joins, it's probably not as a passenger. So, there are some plans for Golovin. I do not think Arsene Wenger would buy him to leave him on the bench," Kanchelskis told Russian outlet Sports.

"Do not think that Golovin will sit on the bench. I am sure that he has very good chances to gain a foothold and play in the first team of Arsenal."
