Henrikh Mkhitaryan Excited for ‘New Chapter’ After Completing Loan Move to Roma

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has expressed his excitement to begin “a new chapter” after he completed a season-long loan move to AS Roma before the European transfer market closed on Monday.

The Armenian struggled to maintain a starting position at Arsenal during his 18 month stay at the Emirates. He was in Unai Emery’s starting XI for their season opener against Newcastle but has since amassed just 27 minutes of game time.

Mkhitaryan joined the Gunners in January 2018 as part of a swap deal with Alexis Sanchez, who also made a loan move to Serie A this summer, joining Manchester United.
