The reds are reportedly getting closer to sign Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. According to Mirror the Shakhtar playmaker may as well be completing his medical at Anfield soon. If all this is true then surely Mkhitaryan will be Liverpool’s signing of the season.
Merseysiders have been linked with numerous wide players such as the likes of Tello and Ince but the Armenian star will easily be the better option for any club. It looks likely that Reds will beat competition from Champions League clubs and sign Mkhitaryan for a reported sum of 20 million euros.
Liverpool have already agreed two deals this summer and few days back they reportedly agreed third deal for Spaniard Luis Alberto as well. However, there has been no official confirmation from the related parties as yet.
The possible signing of Mkhitaryan will be massive for Brendan Rodgers as the 24 year old is a versatile talent and was one of the star players for Shakhtar last season.
He can play out wide as well as behind the striker in a central role. Adding to that, the ability to run at defenders, dribble and score goals makes him a nightmare for any opposition.
Amazingly, Mkhitaryan scored 25 goals last season which is a fantastic stat for a midfielder. Imagine the likes of Coutinho at one end and Mkhitaryan at the other, a mouthwatering prospect for the Liverpool supporters.
If the current reports regarding his medical with Liverpool are true, then the reds have possibly got the signing of the season. If not, then they must step up to ensure that they lure the talented star as the reds will not take part in Europe’s elite competition next season and other suitors may turn up.

his first touch looks very poor moreover countiho can play behind striker….. we should sign a winger probably Younes Belhanda
Mkhitaryan looks a great signing, I like the sound of Llori, Aspas and Toure too. I would like BR to try and keep Reina for another year, by then Minoglet will be down to 1 year on his contract, but hopefully we will have a great season and Reina will want to stay. I look forward to Carrol, Spearing, Allen, Borini, Skrtel all leaving for around £45m. That should give us enough money for Aspas, Mkhitaryan, Toure, Lloris, Diame and Benteke. This would cost us another £20m but would give us the strongest squad in ages…. with a good underlying age. Some space for Kelly and Wisdom to also get an opportunity at centre half…..
How will Allen and Borini leave you idiot. Keyboard warrior in one hand mouse in the other.
What we need is complete striker and use aspas for right-wing n coutinho at left-wing,he should behind strikers,buy df-mid and centre-backs.
We need wingers, a striker and a left back to cover jose enrique

I thank Rodgers for what he’s doing for us. We need to strengthen our defences. Henrikh is a great idea. I believe with him, Coutinho, Gerrard and Sturridge in our attack, we are ok. Alberto and atsu are good as replacements for them. I don’t think Suarez should leave but if he does, we them need a natural born striker. Skrtel, downing, carrol, spearing, even johnson offer to offloaded this summer. We never walk alone. Well done Rodgers
