So who is Henrikh Mkhitaryan ?

Liverpool have already been extremely busy this summer, with four players already joining. There are a host of names that have been linked with the merseyside outfit but one that is popping up everywhere is Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Shakhtar Donetsk. So who is he? Well due to him having one of the hardest names to both announce and pronounce, I will refer to him as Henry for the rest of the blog.  Henry is a 24 year old attacking midfield player from Armenia who is capable of playing anywhere in midfield most notably just behind the striker. He possesses great pace and has more than just an eye for goal, having been the top scorer in the Ukrainian league last season with an impressive 25 goals. The Armenian has gone somewhat unnoticed having previously been overshadowed by fellow teammates like Willian (now of Anzhi) and Fernandinho (now of Manchester City) but boasting a record that is better then the other two players and a price tag of around half as much, Henry looks great value (Reportedly around £25 million). There is no doubt that Henry would excite the Anfield crowd but one has to wonder if the deal is dependant on whether Luis Suarez does in fact leave Liverpool. Either way this potential signing that is extremely close according to certain sources, in my eyes would be a massive success as from what i've watched he seems to have it all. Although the deal is not yet done it does seem likely, and heres a video for all football fans just to see what Henrikh Mkhitaryan could potentially bring to the Premier League, enjoy!
