Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been sighted outside a hotel in London ahead of his pending move to Arsenal and inside with his agent.
Mkhitaryan is edging ever closer to becoming an Arsenal player.
The Armenian midfielder was spotted at a hotel in central London on Saturday night ahead of a medical that should take place in the coming days.

The Evening Standard report that the medical is due to take place within the next two days.
Should he pass, he’ll hopefully be an Arsenal player in time for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea on Wednesday night.
This wasn’t the only image to surface as he was also snapped with his agent, Mino Raiola:
His move will see the protracted Alexis Sanchez saga come to an end.
The Chilean will join Manchester United after he completes his medical, which is also set to take place soon.
The move isn’t official yet, but that hasn’t stopped some of their fans treating it like it is.
Debate will continue about which side got the better deal.
From Arsenal’s perspective, they’re losing a player who didn’t want to be at the club and gaining a talented player in return.
All being well, Mkhitaryan will settle in at the club quickly and show us the ability that impressed so many fans while he was at Borussia Dortmund.
