    With Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving from Manchester United to Arsenal in a swap deal that sees Alexis Sanchez go the other, Arsene Wenger is not concerned about fitting in the new arrival.

    There’s been talk about how the attacking midfielder will slot into the same team as fellow playmaker Mesut Ozil but the Arsenal manager seems confident of getting the best out of both players.

    “They can always play together. [Against Crystal Palace] all the players we had on the pitch were attacking players,” Wenger said.

    “[Alex] Iwobi, Ozil, [Jack] Wilshere, Lacazette, [Granit] Xhaka – they are all offensive players.”

    Arsenal are close to completing a deals for Mkhitaryan with the 29-year-old expected to earn around £200,000 per week.
