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.
