Henrikh Mkhitaryan Celebrates Birthday Before Completing Arsenal Transfer

Henrikh Mkhitaryan seemed to view his pending move to Arsenal as a pretty good birthday present from agent Mino Raiola.

The Armenian’s switch from Manchester United, which will see Alexis Sanchez move the other way, has yet to be finalised but is expected to be announced either Monday or Tuesday.

And Mkhitaryan was apparently still in Manchester on Sunday, celebrating his 29th birthday with his agent and Paul Pogba — another client of Raiola’s.

Mkhitaryan used the opportunity to tease Arsenal fans about his pending move, posting a photo of the trio on Instagram and writing: “What am I getting for my birthday???”

A one-way ticket to London, Mkhi, that’s what.

What am I getting for my birthday..???? @paulpogba #micki #birthday
