Liverpool Target Shakhtar Donetsk Playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Liverpool boss considering bid for Armenian midfielder.
Check in to Aston Villa vs Liverpool
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is considering a summer move for
Shakhtar Donetsk's Henrikh Mkhitaryan according to The Daily
Telegraph.
The Anfield boss is keen to bring in an attacking midfielder to the
club this summer and had identified Mkhitaryan as one of his top
targets.
Rodgers will make his move for the Armenian international should
potential moves for Ajax's Christian Eriksen and Newcastle's Hatem Ben
Arfa fall through.
While Rodgers' top summer priority is a defender to replace the
retiring Jamie Carragher, the former Swansea boss is also keen to
bring in a new `number ten' to play behind the strikers.
The Liverpool has reportedly identified Mkhitaryan as a player who
could slot seamlessly into the starting eleven and is someone who
would suit the club's fluid, passing brand of football.
Mkhitaryan has put in some impressive performances for the Shakhtar in
the Champions League this season and the Ukrainian club are keen to
hold onto him.
Liverpool, or any other club attempting to take him away from Ukraine,
will have to stump up with at least £12 million to persuade Shakhtar
to let the player go.
That could prove to be a potential obstacle for Brendan Rodgers as he
has been told by the club's hierarchy he will have just £20 million to
spend on new signings this summer.
