Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is trying to force through a move to Liverpool after he was spotted in a London hotel today.

The £23million-rated Mkhitaryan is supposed to be in Austria with Shakhtar Donestk during their pre-season training. The team have threatened to fine Mkhitaryan for missing training. However, Shakhtar reportedly only own part of his rights, thus making the transfer a very complicated process.

Now that Mkhitaryan was spotted in a London hotel this morning, and it is definitely him according to a Liverpool supporter who snapped the photo and saw him flash his Armenian passport, the ball is in Liverpool’s court to see if they can close the deal.

Mkhitaryan scored a Ukrainian league record 25 goals last season.
