Sokratis Papastathopoulos: “Henrikh Mkhitaryan can be one of the Premier League’s best players”

Arsenal new signing Sokratis Papastathopoulos believes star player Henrikh Mkhitaryan can be one of the best players in the Premier League in case he rediscovers  the form of his final season at Borussia Dortmund. Papastathopoulos played three seasons with Mkhitaryan at Dortmund and is well aware of his former and present team-mate’ qualities. The Greek centre-back said: ”With the ball, without the ball, how he works for the team, when he creates, when he returns with the team... it’s just amazing. "What he showed in his last year in Dortmund, he was one of the best in the Bundesliga. I think he can also be one of the best here in the Premier League.” Mkhitaryan made 17 appearances for Arsenal last season, scoring three goals and providing six assists.
