WATCH: Smiling Mkhitaryan and Raiola in London to close Arsenal move

Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and agent Mino Raiola are now in London ahead of the Armenian signing for Arsenal.

The departing midfielder is part of a straight swap with Gunners forward Alexis Sanchez, says The Sun.

Mkhitaryan was seen with a beaming smile as his move to Arsene Wenger's Gunners looks set to be made official within the next 48 hours.

The Armenian winger has agreed a move to the Emirates, with Sanchez going the other way.

The deal is said to be a straight swap with no money involved – and all paperwork is complete.
