Arsenal could be extremely busy on deadline day across Europe with several departures.
One player who could seal a move away is Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The 30-year-old, who replaced Alexandre Lacazette for the final 25 minutes against Tottenham on Sunday, is the subject of interest from AS Roma.
That’s according to reporter Fabrizio Romano, who suggests that the Serie A side are in talks with the Gunners regarding the winger’s services.
And these Arsenal fans were quick to reply to the news on social media, with many hoping that the Armenian completes a move to the Serie A side over the next 24 hours.

Read Arsenal verdict
It’s safe to say that Arsenal definitely got the better deal regarding Alexis Sanchez and Mkhitaryan with Manchester United, however, the Gunners man has struggled over the past 12 months.
Mkhitaryan has scored eight times in 39 Premier League appearances in London and has been around Unai Emery’s matchday squad for the majority of the Spaniard’s tenure at the Emirates.
However, it appears as if the time is now right for the player to move on.
His departure will leave the Gunners fairly short of experienced wide options, but it will allow the likes of Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith-Rowe and Bukayo Saka the chance to earn more first-team experience, which will be crucial in the long term.
