Sorry for the absent as of late. My responsibilities as student, however inconvenient, has consumed most of my free time.
One of my new favorite players...
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Age 23 - Attacking Midfielder
 |
| You say Henrikh, I say Mkhitaryan |
Mkhitaryan is a rising star. Making his breakthrough into the starting 11 of Shakhtar in 2010 after his 7.5 million pound move from Metalurh Donetsk. Last year he tallied 11 goals in 36 matches. However, this year has been his time to shine. Scoring a brace in week one of the Champions League Group Stage, he was also named to the Champions League Team of the Week. With the season at its midway point he has already recorded 20 goals in 26 games. Henrikh is posed for a move onto the big stage. His mix of pace, vision and passing in enough to hold his own on teamsheets in every top league in Europe. My biggest draw to him is his ability to score in many ways. He constantly finds the back of the net no matter how. His versatilely can be another plus side, seeing as he can play as an outside midfielder or inside as a creator. To pass on signing him would be an extremely large mistake. I value him at between 12-15 million pounds, although this is nothing compared to what he potential worth will skyrocket to. I have not been this sold on a player since watching Thomas Mueller explode into the spotlight during the 2010 World Cup.
Possible Transfer Moves - FC Bayern Munich, Juventus
My Prediction - I would love to see Mkhitaryan move to Juventus. The possible pairing along side Sebastion Giovinco in the attack role of the midfield could be a deadly combination. Especially with midfield anchors Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal providing the defensive roles, Juventus could validate themselves once again as the top side in the Serie A.
