If Oscar or Eden Hazard (god forbid) were to leave Chelsea this summer it would leave fewer options to help Fabregas in the creative midfield department at the club, so Chelsea surely would need to bring in another creative midfielder.

Ideally an attacking midfielder who is able to create assists and score goals too. Many names have been linked including Barca’s Arda Turan, Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez and Dortmund’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

ESPNFC are reporting that Armenian international Henrikh Mkhitaryan is strongly on Chelsea’s radar. The Dortmund attacker has had a stellar season for Dortmund both in the Europa league and in the Bundesliga.

As of the time of writing this article, he has scored a total of 19 goals and created 22 assists in 46 games. That means he has contributed to about 0.9 goals in every game he has played so far this season.

This is the sort of statistics Chelsea needs from its midfielders, which is why doing everything possible to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan could make a lot of sense. Chelsea can take advantage of the fact that he is at the tail end of his contract with Dortmund to sign him on the cheap.

His versatility means he can play on both wings as well as behind the main striker and in the deep lying midfield role.

With his contract winding down and Dortmund unlikely to want to lose him on a free transfer in 2017, Chelsea have a massive chance of convincing him to move to Stamford Bridge by offering him a big money deal.

Although Juventus have also been linked to the signing of the Armenian, the lure of the Premier league should put the balance in Chelsea’s favour despite the fact that the Blues won’t be playing in the Champions League next season.

So the big question is will Henrikh Mkhitaryan be able to perform at the same level in the Premier League as he has in the Bundesliga with Dortmund? If the answer is yes then this transfer could be a great move as Mkhitaryan would be able to deliver the same kind of goal threat from midfield as Frank Lampard once did for the Blues.
