Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Liverpool
A deal to bring Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan to
Liverpool is all but completed with the £18million signing expected to
be unveiled at Anfield in due course, CaughtOffside reports.
The Armenian international will become the Reds' third major signing
of the summer after Kolo Toure joined on a free from Manchester City
and Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas joined for £7.7million, making it a
very promising transfer window so far for Brendan Rodgers' side.
The signing of Mkhitaryan for £18million will show the club's growing
ambition, as they have spent big on a player that had been attracting
a great deal of interest. Still only 24, the attacker has achieved
great things already in his career, winning three consecutive league
titles with Shakhtar as well as numerous trophies in his time in his
native Armenia.
The website reminds that on an individual level, Mkhitaryan has also
been voted the Armenian Footballer of the Year in 2009, 2011 and 2012,
as well as the Ukranian league's best player in 2012. And despite
being a midfielder, he was Shakhtar's and the whole Ukranian league's
top scorer this season with 25 goals.
His finishing will be great news for Liverpool fans, as their team
really struggled last season due to an over-reliance on star player
Luis Suarez and a lack of alternatives upfront. Mkhitaryan would
guarantee the Reds more goals from midfield, as well as offering
creativity to the side in linking up with the likes of Coutinho behind
the main strikers.
According to the report, the signing of Mkhitaryan is not expected to
stop more names coming in, such as Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic,
who is wanted at Anfield to play in a deeper midfield role than the
Armenian.
For now, however, the focus is on Mkhitaryan, who will be unveiled
along with Iago Aspas as a Liverpool player imminently.
