Henrik Mkhitaryan”Chelsea will have to watch the Armenia forward who
has blossomed since taking over Jadson’s creative role,” writes The
Guardian ahead of the match between Shakhtar Donetsk and London’s
Chelsea in the Champions League.
“Henrik Mkhitaryan is only 23 but this year he will almost certainly
win his third Armenian player of the year award. Mkhitaryan’s potential
has been clear for some time – and he was a key figure as Armenia
briefly threatened to derail Ireland’s qualification for the Euros –
but it is this season, since the departure of Jadson, that he has
really blossomed at Shakhtar Donetsk,” the article reads.
Reminding that Mkhitaryan has scored 14 goals in 12 games, The Guardian
notes that “Aram Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance, the Armenian war dance
played each time Mkhitaryan scores, may have become the most popular
tune at the Donbass Arena this season.”
