Liverpool are ready to launch an ambitious bid to land Henrikh
Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk, the Daily Mail reports.
The Armenia international has a burgeoning reputation and Liverpool,
who have scouted the midfielder on several occasions, would have to
pay more than £20million to stand any chance of signing him.
Such a price tag, though, would not deter Liverpool from moving for
Mkhitaryan and he, along with Schalke defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos,
is one of the club's prime targets for the summer window. Liverpool
are also tracking Aston Villa's Christian Benteke.
The decision to move for the skillful Mkhitaryan has not been triggered
by Luis Suarez's declaration that he is determined to leave Anfield.
Liverpool intend to bolster their forward line and the 24-year-old
is viewed as a player who could significantly enhance their bid to
get back in the top four - he scored more than 20 goals for Shakthar
last season.
A significant proportion of the fee that Liverpool would be required
to pay for Mkhitaryan could be recouped before the end of the week,
as Andy Carroll edges closer to a move to West Ham United.
The England international has been considering his options since
the clubs agreed a £15million deal and had not given up the idea of
reviving his Anfield career but that avenue is no longer feasible
and Carroll has accepted he must move on.
