Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Henrikh Mkhitaryan
after the midfielder revealed that he plans to "fulfil" his contract
with Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Armenian international, who scored 25 times last season to top
the Ukrainian goalscoring charts, has been linked with a £22m to
Anfield after reports emerged that he was Brendan Rodgers's prime
summer target.
However, Mkhitaryan is contracted to Donetsk until the end of the
2015 season and has insisted that he will honour that commitment to
his current club.
A statement on his facebook page read: "I am happy to see that people
show keen interest in my career but I would like to ask all not only
to refrain from making comments but also to prevent the spread of
unverified and false information.
"I am not meddling with these affairs. If have a contract with a club,
I just fulfil it."
Liverpool have already recruited Celta Vigo attacker Iago Aspas and
Manchester City defender Kolo Toure this summer.
