Everton have had the John Stones headache to deal with for a large chunk of the summer.
But Roberto Martinez is clearly busy behind the scenes concentrating on arrivals rather than departures.
One name that has been regularly linked to Everton of the last few weeks is Andriy Yarmolenko and Sky Sports News reports today that a deal has now been agreed:
Now this could be an exciting signing if you’re an Everton fan – we understand they’ve agreed a £15m deal to sign Dynamo Kiev captain Andriy Yarmolenko.
When assessing who to bring in to the team these days the virtue of pace must be high up there on the list of criteria – it’s so important in the modern game.
And Yarmolenko looks like a really fast player when he gets into his stride.
What’s more he’s got end product to go with the ground speed.
The 25 year old Ukraine international has scored a remarkable 19 goals in 49 appearances for his country. At 6ft 2inches and change he also has aerial presence and won’t get bullied in The Premier League.
He’s also scored at a really good rate at club level with 71 league goals in 177 league games in his 7 years with Dynamo Kyiv.
All in all he looks like a safe bet and a substantial addition to the squad.
We await confirmation on this one but he surely won’t be available until next weekend at least.
Let’s see the lad in a action.
Everton fans: top buy?
