WHY LFC SHOULD BUY H.MKHITARYAN Last week, Suarez rocked the footballing world, upset Liverpool fans and gave the Press a field day when he announced that he was ready to leave the club. The Reds, of course, have been rock-steady in their response: he’s not for sale. But this hasn’t stopped the media from linking him to a move away from Anfield. For now, that’s just what Liverpool fans will have to put up with. Luckily, there are still interesting players getting linked to the club. Take, for instance, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the Armenian International and spell-check magnet, who The Mirror claim that Liverpool will be moving for this summer, regardless of what Suarez does. At the very least, it’s a good sign that the Reds are still willing to splash out £20m on a single player. After a couple of seasons of bad signings, you wouldn’t blame the top brass for shutting up shop and trying to make the best of a bad bunch. As it is, however, it looks like they’re trying to avoid complacency kicking in. In that regard, signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a good start. It’s thought that Brendan Rodgers has been interested in Shaktar Donetsk’s attacking midfielder for some time now. I wonder what caught his attention? Could it be that the three-time Armenian Player of the Year scored an incredible 25 goals in 39 games this season? That’s a conversion rate that most strikers would die for. Those kind of figures are reminiscent of Frank Lampard at the top of his game. Of course, he’s playing his football in the Ukraine. The competition isn’t as strong as it might be. But there’s something about his energetic playing style, quick feet and excellent finishing ability that seems to suggest he’d be a good fit for the Premier League. The Reds could certainly use somebody who is capable of scoring goals from the midfield. £20m is a lot of money, but if Mkhitaryan can add this to the squad, he’d make for an excellent investment. Heck, if Suarez stays too, Brendan Rodgers will have the makings of a strong squad. Sauce: news-liverpoolfc What’s your take? Would Henrikh Mkhitaryan be a good signing for Liverpool? -Jarar
