Arsène Wenger not impressed by Henrikh Mkhitaryan

YEREVAN, AUGUST 17, ARMENPRESS: The Head Coach of the English Arsenal Arsène Wenger is not impressed by the most expensive transfer of Borussia Dortmund Henrikh Mkhitaryan. As reported by Armenpress, quoting the English The Telegraph, Wenger cited the example of Borussia Dortmund: “People praise Dortmund for reaching the Champions League final, but their most expensive transfer is not very impressive,” – he said. Dortmund has spent more than £40 million this summer.

The most expensive transfer of Borussia Dortmund is the midfielder of the Armenian National Football team Henrikh Mkhitaryan. He moved to the German Borussia Dortmund from the Ukrainian Shakhtar for €27,5 million.

In the second-round games of the current season in the German Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund will host the Eintracht Braunschweig. The game will be played on August 18 at 19:30pm, Armenia time. With this match Henrikh Mkhitaryan will celebrate his return to the Bundesliga.

He has already managed to participate in several Borussia’s friendly matches and got integrated in the team. The midfielder of the Armenian National Football team and Borussia Dortmund has recently returned to his trainings. On July 16 he injured his ankle and could not train for four weeks.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was born on January 21, 1989. As a member of the Armenian national team Mkhitaryan participated in 33 international matches and scored 8 goals since his debut in an away friendly match against Panama on 14 January 2007. His previous clubs include Pyunik Yerevan, where he came through the youth system, and Metalurg Donetsk. Mkhitaryan was chosen Armenian Footballer of the Year in 2009, 2011 and 2012. He was also voted as the best Shakhtar player of 2011–12 season by the fans. In 2012 Mkhitaryan was named in UEFA's Top 100 players by UEFA European Football Yearbook 2012-13.

The midfielder of the Armenian national football team and the Germany’s Borussia Dortmund Henrikh Mkhitaryan has fully recovered from his injury and is conducting full training with the whole team at Borussia. Earlier the German media wrote that Henrikh Mkhitaryan made quite a good impression during the trainings and the bilateral game. He can move fast and make passes. The Armenian international had suffered a foot injury during Borussia’s friendly game against FC Luzern of Switzerland on July 16, which does not seem to bother him anymore.
