What Mkhitaryan said after signing for Arsenal

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has spoken about his move to Arsenal, describing it as 'a dream come true' after signing a long-term contract with the north London outfit on Monday.

The 29-year old has completed a move to the Emirates from Manchester United in a swap deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move in the opposite direction.

"I'm very happy that we could finish this deal and I'm very happy to be here,” Mkhitaryan told the club's website following the announcement.

"It's a dream come true because I've always dreamed of playing for Arsenal. Now that I'm here, I'll do my best for this club to create history.

“I always loved the way that Arsenal played and the way that Arsene Wenger has managed the team. There have been a lot of young players, he's managed them and they've done very well.

“Of course I was in love with the game of Thierry Henry. I loved the way he played - and maybe that was the reason to support Arsenal.”
