Brendan Rodgers is weighing up a move for Armenian playmaker
BRENDAN RODGERS is ready to bolster Liverpool's forward options with
a move for
The 24-year-old Armenia international is among several players Rodgers
has monitored in recent months as he looks to further progress his
Anfield evolution.
And now the Liverpool manager is prepared to launch a concerted bid
during the summer transfer window to sign Mkhitaryan, who Shakhtar
rate in the region of £20m.
Mkhitaryan was top scorer in Ukraine's Premier League this season, his
25 goals in 29 games a record for the competition and helping Shakhtar
to win the title by 13 points from runners-up Metalist Kharkiv.
Ostensibly a central midfield, he has previously played for Pyunik
Yerevan in his homeland and Metalurh Donetsk in Ukraine, and helped
Shakhtar reach the knockout stages of last season's Champions League.
Rodgers was considering an offer for Mkhitaryan - who has 10 goals in
36 appearances for his country - even before Luis Suarez made clear
his determination to push through a move to Real Madrid this summer.
However, Suarez's actions have prompted the Liverpool manager to
redouble his efforts to improve his team's attacking depth, with
Rodgers having already agreed a deal to sign Celta Vigo striker
Iago Aspas.
