Arsenal and Chelsea are set go head-to-head for the signature of Armenia international Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The 27-year-old has just one year left on his Borussia Dortmund contract and is currently assessing his options after big name players Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan agreed deals to leave the German club.
The Sun say Mkhitaryan would prefer to join Arsenal instead of Chelsea.
Mkhitaryan has just enjoyed a superb season for Dortmund, scoring 23 goals and notching an astonishing 32 assists in 52 appearances.
