Mkhitaryan Dortmund Win
The Armenian has been vital to Dortmund’s resurgence this year

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has taken Bundesliga by storm this season. After taking some time to settle in at Dortmund, Mkhitaryan has finally started to prove his big money from Shakhtar Donetsk. He has 6 goals and 8 assists to his name in the Bundesliga this season, and has been a key part of Thomas Tuchel’s team. He is yet to sign a new deal at Borussia Dortmund, and with just one year left in contract after the end of the current season, he’ll be one of the most in demand players in the summer next year if he chooses not to extend his contract.

Recently, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said he is one of the best talents in world, and there is little doubt about that. Mkhitaryan is an intelligent player with great positional and spatial awareness. His style of play is a bit direct, but he doesn’t hesitate to dribble past defenders.
