Henrikh Mkhitaryan's future will be decided this week, according to Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc.
The Armenian is widely expected to depart Dortmund this summer having rejected two contract offers from the Bundesliga side.
Mkhitaryan, who has 12 months left to run on his current deal for the German outfit, was in superb form for Dortmund last season, with his WhoScored rating (7.90) better than any other player in Germany's top tier last term.
However, his refusal to sign a new deal has attracted interest from across the continent, with a switch to the Premier League rumoured.
Arsenal lead the race for his signature, but will face competition from Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham should Dortmund cash in on the creative star.
Zorc has since confirmed that the club "will make a decision this week" over Mkhitaryan's future, with quotes attributed to Sky Sports.
