Sports: Mkhitaryan ‘very pleased’ to extend Roma stay

“My story with AS Roma is going ahead,” Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

Mkhitaryan says he is “very pleased” as finally they could reach an agreement for the player to stay at the Stadio Olimpico until the end of the current season, with a provisional deal for next season too.

“I'm happy to stay because I still have things that I haven’t achieved yet here that I want to achieve,” he wrote.

“I’m looking forward to it, I’m looking forward to finishing this restart of the season on a high note and then to be focused on what’s next.”

Roma announced on Tuesday that they have agreed a deal with Arsenal to extend Henrikh Mkhitaryan's loan with the Serie A club until the end of the season.

There is also a "preliminary agreement" for the Armenian international to stay at Roma for next season, the club said.

The 31-year-old player has scored six goals in 15 league appearances for Roma this term.

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
