Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has praised the way that the club’s newcomer, Armenian national team captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan has settled in at the Emirates ahead of his first ever North London derby.

Wenger seems delighted with the way his new signing has begun, Mirror reported.

“He has a very professional attitude in training and matches," said Wenger at his press conference before Saturday's meeting with Totenham at Wembley.

“I’m not surprised by that – to me, it’s completely normal.”

“Once the game has started, these guys have top-level experience," Wenger said of Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 

“They know what’s important and that’s to focus on their performance.

“These guys are top quality players. Why should they not repeat the performance? [vs. Everton].”

“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
