Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s move to Arsenal seems to be edging closer by the hour with the now-29-year-old writing a ‘cryptic’ caption on an Instagram post late on Sunday night.

Mkhitaryan turned 29 on Sunday. In celebration, he shared a picture of himself, his agent Mino Raiola, and Paul Pogba.

The Manchester United midfielder is also a client of Raiola’s.

While the picture itself – Mkhi and his pals sat in front of a birthday cake – isn’t overly interesting, the caption is. It reads: “What am I getting for my birthday..??”

A move to the club he supported as a youngster, perhaps?

It’s not really that ‘cryptic’ since we know the ex-Dortmund star is almost definitely signing for Arsenal and the caption might not even be linked to that.

The playmaker’s post came the same day as he was spotted outside a London hotel by Sky Sports’ Bryan Swanson. The Armenian was accompanied by Raiola.

It’s looking as if Mkhitaryan’s move to Arsenal could be announced any minute. Although it’ll most likely be announced at 5pm since that seems to be how the Gunners roll.

Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez, who is set to move to United as part of a swap deal, has been snapped in a United shirt with #7 on the back. Not that his shirt number is much of a surprise since he wore it at Arsenal.

The Chilean will become one of the Premier League’s highest earning players with the Red Devils reportedly coughing up £450,000-per-week.

Mkhitaryan, who was allegedly on £140kpw at United, will apparently earn the same at Arsenal, making him one of the Gunners highest earners.

Both medicals are said to have taken place on Sunday.
