Chelsea are set to launch a €60million bid for Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.[bILD]

 

Now, the ridiculous fee aside, here's someone I can genuinely get excited about. Very underrated player, in my opinion.

 

Apparently he's just rejected a new contract too. He's a very good player.

yes please. 

If we did sign him he shall be known as "Steve".

Arsenal bound supposedly http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/671872/Henrikh-Mkhitaryan-Arsenal-Chelsea-Borussia-Dortmund-London-House-Transfer-News-Gossip

Henry, surely.

If the express have written that then I'm 99% certain we are signing him.

We have plenty of wingers though.

Don't know much about him. 60m sounds pretty much.

Arsenal are too stingey to offer more for Xhaka, so unlikely they'll pay that for mkhitaryan. Depends who else we got our eye on of course.

I think he's be more a direct replacement for Oscar

Very good player, big fee though

Can see this link being released by his agent to get a better deal at dortmund, or at a new club.

Good player, not sure attacking midfield is the priority though, at least imo it shouldn't be.

Reports say his missus was spotted house hunting in London. Too cliche, dont believe a word of it.

Why? He flopped playing as a number 10.

Great player can't see it being 60m though.

Would love to see this. His Goal Scoring/Asists stats are ridiculous. (18g 20a in 48 apps last season)

 

Also drilled playing for dortmund so know he wont lack the necessary tactical and physical attributes to work hard and press

60 million euro is about 45 million pounds isn't? With the inflated prices at the moment I don't think that's too far fetched.

Given Dortmund just lost one midfield player to city, are they likely to want to let another go so soon?

They lost Hummels, Gundogan... Clubs want to purchase Aubemeyang, Mkhitaryan, Reus and Sokratis... It would be suicidal for Dortmund to sell any more players, so if they do it will have to be crazy money. If all these rumoured transfer happen who exactly will play for them?

 

That said it looks like Mkhitaryan wants to force a move and is refusing contract talks, Borussia have been very effective this early on in the transfer market with Sebastian Rode, Raphael Guerreiro and Ousmane Dembele all set to join them... Still - selling off the entire core of your team?

doubt hell go this season. 

doubt hell go this season. 

 

Purchasing him would fix the mistake we made with selling Kevin de Bruyne though... And there is hope given he refused contract talks so it looks like he wants to force through a transfer.

True but a tad much given he has a year left on his contract.

They are powerless given his contract status.

Did they not choose to keep Lewandowski despite his contract running out and he left to Bayern on a free?
