The Armenian, who only spent 18 months at the Emirates, headed for Italy in the summer as he looked to resurrect his career.

Mkhitaryan has struggled since he came to England with Manchester United in 2016. Arsenal are not desperate to keep the midfielder but much will rest on how much they want for the 31-year-old.
