Chelsea have joined Arsenal in the battle to sign Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
According to Bild, the Blues are ready to offer £60million to sign one of the most talented midfielders in the game.
Armenia's Armenpress has also revealed that the 27-year-old has turned down a new contract with the German giants as he is determined to move to the English Premier League.
The Armenian scored 40 goals in 136 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and was already a target for the Gunners during last summer's transfer window.
