Henrikh Mkhitaryan has revealed that he believes his Roma move could be a way for him to get more playing time.
The Armenian midfielder left the Gunners to move to the Italian side on loan last month, and revealed that the deal happened very quickly.

Mkhitaryan joined Arsenal from Manchester United back in January 2018, with Alexis Sanchez heading the other way.
Several Arsenal fans reacted to the player’s quotes on Twitter.

Bruno reckons it is hard to give credit to Emery’s decision.

Read Arsenal’s verdict
It was certainly time to split with Mkhitaryan, especially after a tough season last time out.
The Gunners will be hoping his loan spell will attract some interest in the Armenian, so he can be sold next summer.
If Arsenal fans are to be believed, then he is very much unwanted in London, so a move away on a permanent basis is probably best for both parties.
