Armenian national football team and Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be heading back to Borussia Dortmund this summer, Onefootball said, citing reports in Italy.

Mkhitaryan enjoyed the best spell of his career so far at Dortmund before he left to join Manchester United in the summer of 2016.

The Armenian playmaker then joined Arsenal in a swap deal for Alexis Sánchez in January 2018 and has since scored nine goals and assisted 12 others in 54 appearances for the Gunners.

But the 30-year-old’s time in England has been underwhelming overall and with Arsenal set to overhaul their squad this summer, Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb claim he could be offered a route back to Dortmund in the summer.

Mkhitaryan previously spent three years at the Westfalenstadion and was voted Kicker’s Bundesliga Players’ Player of the Season in 2015/16.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the players’ agent Mino Raiola has told Italian media that his client would be interested in a move back to his old stomping ground.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
