Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is looking forward to the arrival of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United.

The pair played together with Borussia Dortmund.

Speaking of Mkhitaryan, he said: "I read that in 2009 he said that he likes Arsenal.

"I'm sure the style of play here would suit him. Every player has their own qualities. He is a great footballer, so let's just see what happens.

"It was tough to play against him. To be honest, I would rather have played alongside him. He is a player who is obviously very good and has lots of good qualities as well."
