According to the Evening Standard, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed the method that he will use to fit Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan into his starting line up.
Questions have been asked about how Arsenal will accommodate both Mesut Ozil and Mkhitaryan in the same team, but the Gunners boss came up with the simple solution of just to “play the good players”.
He said:
Just play the good players! They can always play together. If Alexis Sanchez goes, somebody else will come in who has quality. It’s not a case of us only losing a player, we gain a player. The advantage of that whole [Sanchez] situation is that we get a player in [Mkhitaryan] who has a long contract and is committed to do well.
Mkhitaryan is set to be announced as an Arsenal player within the next 48 hours, with Sanchez going in the other direction.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund star’s playing style is well suited to the way that Wenger likes his team to play, which could help him to settle into the team very quickly.
The 29-year-old has failed to impress under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United and is ready to kick-start his career under Wenger at the Emirates.
