Mkhitaryan set for Arsenal return

 

Henrikh Mkhitaryan will return to Arsenal at the end of the season unless the Gunners reduce their asking price, claims The Sun.

 

The Armenia international has spent the season on loan at Roma after dropping out of favour at Arsenal.

 

Mkhitaryan has struggled for form and fitness at Roma and the Serie A outfit are not interested in making his switch permanent at Arsenal's £20m asking price.

 

The 31-year-old, who wants to join Roma permanently, will only have 12 months left to run on his Arsenal deal at the end of the season.

 

Mkhitaryan has been reduced to just five league starts and five substitute appearances in Serie A this season.

Despite a lack of playing time, Mkhitaryan has managed four league goals for Roma this season, with only two Roma players netting more times.

 

Roma have a better win ratio in Serie A this season when Mkhitaryan has featured (60%) compared to when he has not (38.5%).
