Chelsea and Manchester City target Henrikh Mkhitaryan has stated his intention to leave Shakhtar Donetsk this summer.

The Armenia midfielder has impressed major European clubs in the Champions League with Shakhtar over the past two years, and is now determined to move to one of the continent’s top leagues.

He is on the radars of both the European champions at Stamford Bridge and Roberto Mancini's reigning Premier League kings.

"For every player, to play for the strongest clubs in the world is a dream, and the main goal," said Mkhitaryan.

"I will do everything possible to move this summer to a different team."

* FERNANDO TORRES has had a rare Stamford Bridge triumph after a poster mocking the misfiring Spaniard was torn down by council chiefs, writes Martin Lipton.

Bookies Paddy Power used a billboard opposite the Bridge showing an onion bag with the caption: “Fernando – We’ve got an onion bag you can ­actually find. It’s in the burger van, mate. Get your hair net on.”

Chelsea bosses demanded the poster was removed, but were ignored by the company.

But now Hammersmith and Fulham Council have intervened and deemed it illegal and unsightly.
