Henrikh Mkhitaryan has admitted that he feels more settled at Arsenal because of the attacking style of play implemented by the Gunners.

The Armenia international has been getting used to life at The Emirates following his January switch to Arsenal from Manchester United as part of the same deal which saw Alexis Sanchez head to Old Trafford.

Mkhitaryan has notched up three assists in three Premier League games for Arsenal since his move to The Emirates from the Red Devils.

And the 29-year-old playmaker appears to be more settled at Arsenal because of the style of play implemented by Arsene Wenger at The Emirates.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Mkhitaryan said: “Everyone knows Arsenal play offensive football, and I love to play offensive football.

“In Manchester we were playing offensive football too but not in every game, so it was quite different.”

Mkhitaryan joined Arsenal along with Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang in the January transfer window.

Both of the new signings will be hoping to feature when the Gunners return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon with a trip to Brighton and Hove Albion.

The north London side have not won the Premier League title since their famous unbeaten triumph in the 2003-04 campaign and they finished in fifth place in in the table last term.

With Arsenal currently looking on course to finish outside the top four, their best hope of Champions League qualification may be winning the Europa League this season.
