Henrikh Mkhitaryan: Liverpool target set for Borussia Dortmund

Liverpool have lost out on one of their major transfer targets after Shakhtar Donetsk's Henrikh Mkhitaryan agreed a £21.5m move to Borussia Dortmund.
Manager Brendan Rodgers identified the 24-year-old forward as a top priority.
But the Reds were told on Friday that the Ukrainian side had done a deal with the Champions League finalists.
Liverpool were happy to meet the asking price for Mkhitaryan but it is believed they never got the chance to hold talks with the highly rated Armenian.
Rodgers had hoped to add Mkhitaryan to summer signings Kolo Tourefrom Manchester City, Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas and Sevilla's Luis Alberto.
