DORTMUND, Germany (AP) -Borussia Dortmund has signed Armenia midfielder
Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk, giving him a
four-year contract.
The 24-year-old Mkhitaryan arrives at Dortmund, last season’s

for archrival Bayern Munich.
Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke said on Tuesday:
“It wasn’t an easy transfer but we absolutely wanted to have Henrikh.”
Dortmund already has signed defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos from
Werder Bremen and forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Saint-Etienne.
Mkhitaryan scored 25 goals in 29 Ukrainian top-division matches
last season.
