Arsenal scout Steve Rowley has reportedly instructed Gunners chief Arsene Wenger to take a look at Armenian international midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The 22 year old currently plays in Ukraine for Shakhtar.
Mkhitaryan joined Shakhtar in 2010 from city rivals Metalurg in a 5.4m GBP move, and has since established himself as one of the best players in the Ukrainian domestic league.<br />
Arsenal are tracking the midfielder and have been interested in Mkhitaryan for several months, with the Gunners reportedly looking at the midfielder after Cesc Fabregas departed for Barcelona.<br />
Shakhtar would command an 8m GBP transfer fee for the Armenian, should they decide to part with the player.
