    FIVE FACTS ABOUT LIVERPOOL TARGET HENRIKH MKHITARYAN

    Here Is The City, UK
    June 4 2013

    Liverpool have been linked with Armenian midfielder Henrikh
    Mkhitaryan. Here is all you need to know.

    Having already secured the services of Kolo Toure and Iago Aspas
    for next season, Liverpool's transfer business shows no sign of
    slowing down.

    Reports today have linked them with a £22million move for Shakhtar
    Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Having previously been linked
    with Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City, the 24-year-old will have
    no shortage of offers this summer should he wish to leave the Ukraine.

    Here are five facts about the player...

    1) Mkhitaryan holds the record for the most goals scored in a Ukrainian
    Premier League campaign, having scored 25 last season. It is this
    outstanding form that has prompted interest from clubs across Europe.

    2) The Armenian has been voted his country's Player of the Year
    three seasons running. He is also Armenia's second-highest all-time
    goal-scorer with 10 goals in 36 appearances.

    3) Mkhitaryan's first club was Armenian side FC Pyunik, where he came
    through the youth ranks before making his debut at just 17. His time at
    the club resulted in four league titles before he moved to Ukrainian
    side Metalurh Donetsk in 2010. He was also named Metalurh's youngest
    ever captain when he was just 21.

    4) He has previously been described by football pundit Pat Nevin as
    "phenomenal". Talking of Mkhitaryan's performances last season, the
    former Chelsea player added, "He has pace, skill, a rocket of a shot
    and the ability to arrive in the box like Frank Lampard."

    5) The attacking midfielder has experience at the highest level,
    having played every minute of Shakhtar's most recent Champions
    League campaign. He also scored both goals in the club's 2-0 win over
    Nordsjaelland in the group stage.
