Arsenal Transfer news: A deal to bring Borussia Dortmund star appears to be picking up steam

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has moved closer to signing for Arsenal after beginning to look for houses in London, according to The Sun on Sunday.

The Borussia Dortmund star has reportedly told his friends that he is ready to leave his current club for a new challenge - and Arsenal lead the race for his signature.

His current deal expires at the end of the season and he has allegedly rejected a contract offer from Dortmund.

And now he appears to be looking at houses in the area ahead of a potential move to the Gunners after being scouted throughout the season.
