Tottenham are poised to hijack Liverpool's £20million move for
Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers looked to be pole position to land the
talented attacking midfielder, but Spurs have now entered the race to
land the Armenia international.
It is understood Mkhitaryan's advisors have held initial talks with
Tottenham chiefs regarding a possible move to White Hart Lane next
season.

Spurs are currently focused on completing a £17million move for
Corinthians midfielder Paulinho, who is expected rubber-stamp his
switch after Sunday's Confederations Cup final.
But once the Brazil international's move is over the line, Tottenham
will look to make progress on other targets - with Mkhitaryan one of
the options being considered.
Mkhitaryan is fast becoming one of the most sought after players in
European football this summer.
In demand: Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund have made an
offer for Mkhitaryan
Sportsmail revealed this week how Champions League finalists Borussia
Dortmund made a £19.5million offer for the 24-year-old.
But Shakthar insist they want at least £25million for the player, who
has also interested Chelsea and Manchester City.
Spurs remain confident of a deal for David Villa and have shown
interest in Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz, 27.
