Reports coming in today, are suggesting that Arsenal scout Steve Rowley, has informed Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, to once again look at Armenian international midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who is currently plying his trade in the Ukraine with Shakhtar Donesk, and Rowley believes he is the missing player that could fill the void left by former captain and playmaker Cesc Fabregas.
Mkhitaryan has established himself as one of the best players in the Ukrainian domestic league, since his transfer from Shakhtar’s city rivals Metalurg in a 5.4 GBP move,in 2010 and is seen as a hot prospect in European football,and the 22 year old midfielder would certainly bolster a midfield that has lacked creativity so far this season since the departures of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas.
Arsenal are believed to be tracking the midfielder, and were also looking at him after Fabregas left for Barcelona, and are still interested in bringing him to the Emirates, Shakhtar if they are to release him would be looking at a fee of around £8.million.
Would he be the midfielder we have been looking for, well to be honest I have not seen him play so I cannot answer that, but one thing is clear we do need a midfielder who can bring a bit of creativity to the the team, and if he can fit the bill, then at £8 million we could do worse.
