Man U signs Bundesliga Player of the Season Henrikh Mkhitaryan for £26m (photos)

Armenia's all time goalscorer Henrikh Mkhitaryan has now officially joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund on a four-year deal.
The 27 year old made 140 appearances and scored 41 goals for Borussia Dortmund after joining them in 2013 and last season scored 23 goals and registered an impressive 32 assists across all competitions.Henrikh was voted Bundesliga Player of the Season for 2015/16 in a poll of his fellow professionals, and he was named in the Team of the Season following votes by the players’ union in Germany. The midfielder is Armenia’s all-time top scorer, with 19 goals in 59 appearances since his international debut in January 2007. Henrikh captains his national team and has received the Armenian Footballer of the Year award on five occasions.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan speaking to manUtd.com said: "I am very proud to join Manchester United, this move is a dream come true for me. I am excited to play for a club with such an illustrious history and hope to be part of it for a long time. I thank the trust the club and Jose Mourinho have put in me. Finally, I believe playing for such a great club honours my father’s memory, and the inspiration and drive he gave to me when I was young."

José Mourinho speaking to Man Utd.com said: "Henrikh is a very talented footballer who has been in such prolific form for both his club and his country. He is a real team player with great skill, vision and also has a good eye for goal. I am delighted he has chosen to sign for United. I believe he will make an impact on the team very quickly as his style of play is suited to the Premier League. We are all looking forward to working with him."
“First of all, in Zlatan, we have brought in the player who was voted the best player in the French league and in Micki we have brought the player voted the best player in the Bundesliga,” Jose said.
“He was voted not by the fans, not by the journalists but voted by fellow players and that is what means more, I believe, because when your fellow players choose you it means a lot.
“Micki is a fantastic player and what I like more is something undeniable, which is the number of goals he scores by not being a striker. His number of goals per season is really high for somebody who is not a striker and the number of assists is also very clear. It shows his creativity, vision and concept of collective play, and is something I believe is really important for a club like us.
“We try to be dominant and will, for sure, face teams with a very defensive profile so his capacity of acceleration of the game, and he has a change of speed with and without the ball, is very, very important for a club like ours.”

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old songstress - who has been with Simon for four years - also reminded her fans that she will be going on hiatus as soon as she finishes her world tour so she can look after her son who will start school soon.
"My kid is starting school, you see - hence why I'm so busy trying to get all my shows out of the way. I don't think I'll be away for as long."
Adele also admitted she doesn't plan on giving her little boy any brothers or sisters.

Porn mogul behind Kim K/Ray J sextape says he'll pay $25m for a Kim and Kanye sextape

Steve Hirsch, the man behind the multi-million dollar fetching Kim Kardashian and Ray J sex tape and owner of Vivid says he's willing to pay $25million for a Kim K and Kanye West sex tape.
Steve said a video featuring the reality star and rapper - and any of Kim's sisters - would instantly be a blockbuster. According to Steve, a decade on from the release of Kim and Ray J’s film, the movie is still making huge profits for his company.
Speaking to Radar Online, he said: "The deal to ultimately release the Kim K video was arguably the best deal made in the history of the adult industry.

"If you take into consideration not only the sales but the immense publicity it has received, it truly stands above any other video. The number increases every day and the interesting thing is that its sales are directly correlated to news events concerning Kim,” he added to the site.
"A Kim/Kanye tape would be worth $25 million, at bare minimum,” Steve explained.
He also said a tape featuring any of the Kardashian-Jenners would be huge, though how much he would pay depends on what they did.
"Instant bestsellers due to the huge interest in their lives. How much we would pay depends on what they would be willing to do in the movie and several other factors.”
