Henrikh Mkhitaryan's Sister Hints at Arsenal Switch

Published on: 13 June 2016

Borussia "?Dortmund play-maker Henrikh Mkhitaryan has moved a step closer to a move to Arsenal, according to eagle eyed social media followers.


Mkhitaryan, 27, has been heavily linked with a move away from Dortmund after he rejected a new contract offer from the Bundesliga side, with only one year remaining on his current deal. 

Dortmund director Michael Zorc told "?Bild on Monday that Mkhitaryan has until the end of the week to decide on his future, after being heavily linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.


The Armenian man scored 23 goals in 51 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund, helping them finish second place in the Bundesliga and German Cup runners-up.


However, it is his sister, Monika, whose "?LinkedIn profile has caused some controversy after she started following the Gunners on the social media website. While this may seem like we are looking far too much into this little detail, Monika Mkhitaryan does not follow any other clubs on the website.

However, it was reported earlier in the year that Mkhitaryan was looking for a house in London, but it was later revealed that his sister, who works as an assistant and translator to UEFA, was in fact the one looking for somewhere to leave in London. 


So Monkia's recent update could just be a red herring, and she could just in fact support Arsenal. Time will invariably tell.
