Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has spoken well of team newcomer midfielder and Armenia national football squad captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
“I said when we signed Micki that I was delighted to have him with us, and the early signs have been impressive,” EveningStandard quoted the Gunners’ German captain as saying. “I’m told that he has already assisted five goals [sic], and I’m not too surprised at that because he has that vision, that creativity.
“He’s not only a good player but he’s a great character too. He’s interested in improving and is eager to learn, even though he’s 29.
“Honestly, it’s been brilliant to work with him.
“It was promising to see Micki combining the way he did with Mesut [Özil].”
