​Arsenal midfielder Xhaka clueless about Alexis Mkhitaryan swap

Speculation has been rife over the past new weeks suggesting that Alexis Sanchez was on his way to Manchester United.

The transfer was all but confirmed by Arsene Wenger on Thursday when the Gunners boss said that Sanchez's move to United "would likely happen" with Henikh Mkhitaryan moving to the Emirates Stadium.

However, Gunners star Granit Xhaka is clueless as to what is going on.

When asked about the Sanchez's rumours, he told Sky Sports: "To be honest, I don't know really what's true and what isn't.

"We're humans as well and we read things like you do. Alexis is an important player for us, he's got class which he shows every week, and I will be happy if he stays.

"If he stays or goes? I don't know what's going to happen. At training, he's always an example for many people because he always wants to win no matter what we are doing - a big game or a small game.

"I think that's something that characterises him."
