#1 Alexis Sanchez - Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Arguably the biggest and most famous swap deal of the 21st century. Less than 48 hours ago, Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan switched allegiances in one of the most high-profile Premier League swap deal involving two of England’s biggest clubs.
Sanchez and Mkhitaryan are two of the best midfielders in world football right now. The Chilean had less than six months remaining on his current contract at Arsenal and was desperate to leave the club to win more silverware.
On the other hand, Mkhitaryan never settled at Old Trafford after his move 18 months ago. Both players were looking for a way out. It is one of those unusual transfers with no extra fee involved. It was a straight swap and only time will tell which club will profit more from the deal.
