Arsenal to sign Kluivert as part of Mkhitaryan deal?

Arsenal could reportedly sign Roma attacker Justin Kluivert during this summer's transfer window with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving in the opposite direction.

Mkhitaryan has spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan with Roma, and it is understood that the Italian outfit are keen to complete a permanent deal for the Armenia international.

The Serie A side have reportedly been struggling to agree a fee with the Gunners, but according to Corriere dello Sport, a swap deal involving Kluivert could be on the cards.

The report claims that Mikel Arteta's team would part with £13m and Mkhitaryan in order to bring the 21-year-old to the Emirates Stadium during this summer's transfer window.

Kluivert, who is the son of Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert, has scored seven times in 27 appearances for I Giallorossi during the 2019-20 campaign.

The Netherlands international started his professional career with Ajax, netting 13 times in 56 appearances for the Dutch outfit before arriving in Rome in 2018.
