Arsene Wenger is pleased to have replaced Alexis Sanchez with another 'world-class' player in Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but admits the January tranfer window has been 'more disturbing than ever'.

Arsenal allowed Sanchez to join Manchester United on Monday to avoid losing the Chile international on a free transfer when his contract expired at the end of the season.

The Gunners received Mkhitaryan in exchange, with Wenger confirming the Armenia international has signed a contract running until June 2021.

Adding a dedicated professional to the squad provided some joy for Wenger, although he admits that he will be even more happy with the January window comes to an end.
