New Arsenal signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan says that he is relishing the chance to play alongside "assist king" Mesut Ozil at the Emirates Stadium.

New Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has described Mesut Ozil as an "assist king" and admits that he is relishing the chance to link up with the German at the Emirates Stadium.

Mkhitaryan put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal to join the Gunners from Manchester United earlier this month as part of a swap which took Alexis Sanchez the other way, and he could make his debut for the club when they take on Swansea City in the Premier League on Tuesday night.

The Armenia international is eagerly awaiting the chance to get his Arsenal career underway, and revealed that he is particularly looking forward to playing alongside Ozil.

"Here at Arsenal I know that lots of players move a lot and it's incredible the way [the team] plays. I will do my best to assist them as well," he told Arsenal Player.

"I think it will be really fun to play alongside Ozil. Everyone knows he's a fantastic player, he's an assist king! I look forward to it.

"[I admire] his intelligence, the way that he can understand the game, reads the game, plus the way he gives pace to the game and of course his final decision."

Arsenal currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, five points adrift of the Champions League places.
