Henrikh Mkhitaryan has however been incredible under Unai Emery this season because he has been able to score six goals as well as making four assists which is pretty impressive considering that he did get injured for about two months. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored in Arsenal’s matches vs Southampton and Bournemouth, and even though the gunners made a draw in the North London Derby, the Armenian international was very impressive in this game.

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery likes players that can help in defensive and attacking moments because he wants his squad to work as a team especially when defending and Henrikh Mkhitaryan shown that he matches those qualities which the coach requires. Henrikh Mkhitaryan helped the defence of the gunners numerous times in the North London Derby and Unai Emery has revealed why he likes the former Manchester United star.
