If the transfer goes ahead it would be the third blockbuster move of the January transfer window involving Premier League clubs following Philippe Coutinho's big-money move from Liverpool to Barcelona and Virgil van Dijk's arrival at Anfield from Southampton. It certainly looked as if Mkhitaryan was on his way out of Old Trafford after he failed to even make the bench for the Premier League game at home to Stoke. Runaway Premier League leaders City boast a dazzling array of attacking talent with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane, David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero vying for places. Sanchez joined Arsenal from Barcelona in 2014 and in a stellar 2016/17 campaign scored 30 goals and made 17 assists, though his form has since dipped. A number of Arsenal players have also joined City in recent years including Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Kolo Toure.
