ARSENAL and Liverpool face an uphill battle to pry transfer target
Henrikh Mkhitaryan away from Borussia Dortmund as the Bundesliga club
struggle to line up a replacement.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's hopes of a Premier League move was already dented
by an injury this month
Mkhitaryan has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with
Liverpool particularly interested in the Armenian international.
Any sale from Dortmund's end relies on a replacement coming in -
widely thought to be AC Milan's Stephan El Shaarawy.
But the 22-year-old's agent and brother, Manuel El Shaarawy, has come
forward to deny his player is leaving the San Siro.

Manuel told calcionews24: "The transfer rumours are not true.
"Stephan's Rossonero future has never been in question. And I have
not been contacted by any other club.
"Stephan's mood is good, he just lacks in scoring a bit. His
performances have always been positive. He's concentrated on doing
well and finding continuity."
With Mkhitaryan all but crossed off Brendan Rodgers and Arsene Wengers'
wish lists, the two managers are set to concentrate on other midfield
targets.
The Gunners are set to bid £26million for Barcelona's Pedro, while
the Reds are chasing Tottenham's Christian Eriksen.
