September 3, 2019 by
Arsenal are close to offloading Henrikh Mkhitaryan on deadline day of the European transfer window but hopes are fading that Shkodran Mustafi will follow him out the door.
Mkhitaryan, 30, has arrived in Italy to try to complete a loan move to Roma,who will have an option to buy the attacking midfielder.
Mkhitaryan came on during Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspuryesterday but has been unable to rediscover the form he showed playing for Borussia Dortmund between 2013 to 2016. He joined Arsenal for £27 million from Manchester United in a deal that sent Alexis Sánchez in the opposite direction in January 2018.
Mkhitaryan was Arsenal’s third-highest scorer with six Premier League goals last season but his chances of starting regularly have been affected.

Taylor Swift Album Hits 1 Million in China Sales, Beating U.S. | Anthony S Casey Singapore
August 31, 2019 by
American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift may be more popular in China than the U.S., going by the first-week sales of her latest music.
“Lover,” the 29-year-old pop star’s seventh album, sold 1 million in China in its first week of release, Universal Music Group said Aug. 29. U.S. sales are expected to reach 850,000 in the period, based on forecasts cited in Billboard magazine Aug. 28. The figures include streaming equivalents.
Swift has been among the most popular Western musicians in China, where some of the biggest internet companies are betting on streaming services to lure users. Chinese social media giant Tencent Holdings Ltd., for example, has been negotiating to buy 10% of Universal from Vivendi SA to help it tap fast-growing Asian markets.
Released on Aug. 23, “Lover” has become China’s most consumed international full-length album this year, Universal said. Swift’s two previous albums, “1989” and “Reputation,” were both certified for over 1 million copies consumed in China.
Universal is still waiting to report on the U.S. sales of “Lover” as of Aug. 29, a spokesman for the company said by email.
The album also claimed the biggest sales week for any in the U.S. this year, according to Billboard. As of Aug. 27, it had sold about 750,000.
