Steve Rowley has advised Arsene Wenger to once again look at Shakhtar
Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, according to reports.
Rowley believes the 22-year-old Armenian international could perhaps
be the player to fill the midfield hole left by former Arsenal captain
Cesc Fabregas.
Since his £5.4 million move from Metalurg to city rivals Shakhtar in
summer 2010, Mkhitaryan has managed to become of the best players in
the Ukrainian domestic league, and is viewed by many as a hot prospect
in the European football scene.
Known as 'The Maestro of Armenian Football', the young midfielder
would certainly add something to the Arsenal team, if Wenger decides
to listen to Rowley's advice.
Despite the £10 million capture of Mikel Arteta on deadline day,
many (including myself) still believe Arsenal lack creativity in
their midfield.
It is believed the north London club were looking at Mkhitaryan after
Fabregas left for Barcelona in the summer and will heed Rowley's
advice of tracking him once again during the winter.
It is understood Shakhtar would probably command a fee of around £8
million if the Armenian was put on the market.
Could Mkhitaryan be the player to replace Fabregas and add some much
needed creativity to our midfield? Possibly, he would certainly be
considered a Wenger-ish buy by the Arsenal faithful, one who oozes
class but wouldn't command such a big fee.
Henrikh possesses great ball control, skill, agility, as well as
superb vision and awareness. He may not bag a lot of goals, but he
does have the ability to create them.
The Armenian certainly looks a bright prospect, and I for one believe
Wenger should definitely take another look at him before ruling out
a potential move for the young midfield maestro.
