Henrikh Mkhitaryan joins Arsenal as Alexis Sanchez signs for Man United in swap deal

Arsenal and Manchester United have confirmed the respective signings
of Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Both players have gone the
other way in a swap deal.

Alexis Sanchez leaves to join Manchester United after three and half
years in North London with 80 goals in all competitions for the
Gunners. He was into the last six months of his contract before
joining Jose Mourinho's side in a four and half year deal.

Mkhitaryan was out of favour at Manchester United after he arrived
from the Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in the Summer of 2016.
Where he spent more time out of the team than in it.

On joining Arsenal, the Armenian had this to say:

"I'm very happy that we could finish this deal and I'm very happy to
be here. 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."

Both players, who are 29 year olds respectively, leave after winning
several trophies with their former clubs.

Alexis Sanchez won two FA Cups and three Community Shields at Arsenal.
While Henrikh Mkhitaryan added the Europa Cup and League Cup in his
one year and six months at Old Trafford.
