Liverpool are ready to launch an ambitious bid to land Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Armenia international has a burgeoning reputation and Liverpool, who have scouted the midfielder on several occasions, would have to pay more than £20million to stand any chance of signing him.
Such a price tag, though, would not deter Liverpool from moving for Mkhitaryan and he, along with Schalke defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos, is one of the club's prime targets for the summer window. Liverpool are also tracking Aston Villa's Christian Benteke.
Liverpool intend to bolster their forward line and the 24-year-old is viewed as a player who could significantly enhance their bid to get back in the top four - he scored more than 20 goals for Shakhtar last season.
