Arsenal fans discuss Henrikh Mkhitaryan as good Roma form continues

Roma might have been thumped by Atalanta yesterday but Henrikh Mkhitaryan continues to shine in Serie A following his Arsenal departure.

The Armenia captain registered an assist for Eden Dzeko in the 4-1 defeat to take his assist tally to eight for the campaign.

Mkhitaryan is thriving under Paulo Fonseca at Roma, weighing in with 16 goal contributions during 2020/21.

It’s a far cry from the form he showed at Arsenal but that hasn’t stopped supporters from wondering what might have been.

He struggled to get going though and found the net just nine times in 59 outings for Arsenal.

The 31-year-old is starting to shine in Italy and despite Roma’s defeat yesterday, they sit fourth in Serie A.

His latest goal contribution has got Arsenal supporters talking about the 88-cap international.

With Arsenal languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, they could ironically do with a creative spark like Mkhitaryan.

He has excelled in the No.10 role at Roma having never really been utilised in such a position for the Gunners.

There’s a genuine suggestion that Arsenal might have missed a trick with the player who has scored 30 goals for his country.

Here is what Arsenal fans are saying about the player they sold during the summer transfer window.
