Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan has explained his reasons for
joining Borussia Dortmund instead of a host of other European clubs
who were keen on signing him including Liverpool.
Mkhitaryan has admitted to being a fan of Jurgen Klopp's side since
facing them with former club Shakhtar Donetsk and also the beaten
finalists' style of play.
"Since we played with Shakhtar in the Champions League against BVB
I've watched all Dortmund games on TV," Mkhitaryan said.
"BVB have not only played fantastic football, but football that
suits me. I thought this was a team where I can grow and develop,"
the attacking midfielder added.
The playmaker then added that he just wants to play football regularly
and that is his motivation and not the big money that comes with
the territory.
"I have come to Dortmund to and not to sit on the bench as might
initially have been the case in England."
"Money is not so important in football. There's only room for
football. I live football, think football, feel football and if I play
well, the money comes anyway," concluded the Armenian international.
