Arsenal look set to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United in a swap deal with Alexis Sanchez.
According to The Mirror, United are keen to offload Mkhitaryan and have offered him to Arsenal in a bid to soften the loss of losing Sanchez.
Arsenal failed to pin Sanchez down to a new contract and he is now set to sign for Manchester United for a cut-price fee, which could be lessened by the involvement of Mkhitaryan.
The report claims that the two clubs are still ironing out the finer details, as they work out how much Mkhitaryan is valued at in the deal.
Sanchez is expected to cost Manchester United £35m, as the Chilean closes in on a switch to Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho has become disenchanted with Mkhitaryan after a string of poor performances from the former Borussia Dortmund star this season.
The attacking midfielder could serve as a direct replacement for Sanchez.
