Liverpool are set to pursue Shakhtar Donetsk striker Henrikh
Mkhitaryan in the summer, as boss Brendan Rodgers looks to improve his
attacking options.
Mkhitaryan recently indicated he was keen to move on from
his current club, citing a move to one of Europe's top leagues as a priority.
It is believed Shakhtar would not be adverse to selling the
striker, but any club is likely to have to stump up around £12m for his
signature.
With Liverpool having brought Daniel Sturridge and Philippe
Coutinho to Anfield in January, it looks as though Rodgers is keen to continue
the squad's development ahead of next season.
The Reds have been without Champions League football since
the 2009-10 season and look likely to miss out again this time around, but have
improved immeasurably over the course of the campaign.
But the acquisition of Armenia international Mkhitaryan will
ease the pressure on top scorer Luis Suarez, as well as Daniel Sturridge and
Fabio Borini, who has been on the sidelines for best part of the season.
The 24-year-old would also arrive at Anfield with Champions
League experience.
