Arsenal ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan praised by Arsene Wenger for settling quickly at club: 'The way we want to play football suits him naturally'

Arsene Wenger has hailed Henrikh Mkhitaryan for settling in at Arsenal quickly following his move from Manchester United.

The Armenian midfielder was part of a January swap deal that saw him move to the Emirates Stadium and winger Alexis Sanchez join fellow Premier League side United.

And Mkhitaryan has already provided five assists and scored two goals in his nine games in an Arsenal shirt.

The Gunners are hoping to qualify for next season's Champions League through the Europa League, and with fellow January signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cup-tied, Mkhitaryan is key in that competition.
