Raiola seeks Arsenal talks over new Mkhitaryan deal

Mino Raiola is seeking new contract talks with Arsenal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The midfielder is currently on-loan at Roma, where they wish to hold onto him beyond the end of this season.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport says the Giallorosso would prefer a new loan arrangement for next term - and Raiola feels the best option for all involved is for Mkhitaryan to sign a new deal with Arsenal before extending his Roma stay.

The midfielder's current deal runs to 2021 and Arsenal could agree to the new contract to protect Mkhitaryan's value. However, their preference would be an immediate sale to the tune of €25m.
