As reported in talkSPORT's transfer rumours section, Shakhtar Donetsk
could struggle to hold on to yet another one of their stars this
summer, with Liverpool now linked with a move for attacker Henrikh
Mkhitaryan. As Brendan Rodgers ponders a move for the goalscorer,
talkSPORT's Transfer Spotlight has the latest...
Name: Henrikh Hamleti Mkhitaryan Date of birth: 21 January, 1989
Birthplace: Yerevan, Armenia Position: Second striker Club: Shakhtar
Donetsk Honours: Ukrainian Premier League (x2), Ukrainian Cup (x2)
International appearances: 36 (Armenia)
What's the latest?
Mkhitaryan has been at Shakhtar since 2010, but after achieving
virtually everything he can at the club by winning the Ukrainian
League and Cup, he now says he is ready to move on to a major European
League. Liverpool are believed to be keen on bringing him to Anfield.
Did you know?
1) Mkhitaryan's career started off at Pynik FC in his native Armenia.
His time there was fruitful, with four league title wins along with
a domestic cup part of his trophy haul. In his final season with the
team in 2009, he scored an astounding 13 goals in 13 games.
2) The attacker made the move to Metalurh Donetsk in 2009, and scored
a respectable 14 goals in 28 appearances during his first season
there. By August 2010, he had done enough to catch the attention of
the big guns, with Shakhtar signing him for £4.9m.
3) The Armenian made his Champions League debut in September 2010
against Sporting Braga, and it proved to be a year of unprecedented
success, with Shakhtar winning the Ukrainian League, Cup and Super Cup.
4) Mkhitaryan continued to excel in his second year with the Ukrainian
giants, scoring 11 goals from midfield and being voted player of the
season by the club's fans. This year, his goals tally has soared to
20 in all competitions, with 18 of those strikes coming in the league.
That may explain why he is keen to find new challenges.
5) The Shakhtar man made his Armenia debut against Panama in January
2007, and to date, his 10 goals for his country makes him their second
highest goal scorer of all time.
He says "For every player it's a dream to play for the strongest clubs
in the world. I'll do everything possible to move to a different team
this summer."
