Of those assists, 13 have been in the Bundesliga – a tally topped by only Luis Suarez (15) and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil (18) in Europe’s top five divisions.

His superb displays for Thomas Tuchel’s side has drawn admirers in the Premier League, according to the Daily Mirror.

The report claims that the feeling is mutual, with Mkhitaryan actively seeking a switch to London in the close-season.
This has alerted two clubs, the source suggests, with Arsenal challenging fierce rivals Chelsea for his signature.

Mkhitaryan enters the upcoming transfer window in an extremely strong position, as his current deal at Dortmund has just one year left to run.

That means the 27-year-old could be cashed-in by Dortmund before September, or he could leave for free in 2017 – and thus likely receive a more lucrative salary and sign-on bonus from any prospective club.

In his most recent game, a 3-0 win over Stuttgart, Henrikh Mkhitaryan created four chances – one of which was an assist.

In his most recent game, a 3-0 win over Stuttgart, Mkhitaryan again displayed his talent by winning an outstanding 8/8 take-ons.

Aside from his excellent dribbling, the Dortmund No.10 also scored, assisted and made three interceptions.

The dynamic midfielder’s versatility could make him an ideal solution for the Gunners, who have suffered greatly from injuries in the wide areas this term, and are also set to lose three central players in June once their contracts expire.
