Andriy Yarmolenko is understood to be the subject of a potential transfer to Everton
Everton have agreed a £15m deal to sign forward Andriy Yarmolenko from Dynamo Kiev, according to Sky sources.
It is believed the Ukraine international, who scored in Dynamo's 5-2 win over Everton in the Europa League last season, has a buy-out clause in his contract.
Sky sources understand contact has been made between the clubs over a transfer but no deal has been agreed.
After the match last year Everton manager Roberto Martinez said Yarmolenko was a 'constant threat to his side' and would be 'a success in the Premier League'.
Yarmolenko, who signed from Desna Chirnihiv in 2006, broke into Dynamo's first team a year later after impressing during a spell with the club's second XI.
The 25-year-old has scored 19 goals in 49 appearances for Ukraine and was instrumental in Dynamo's run to the Europa League final last season, along with Yevhen Konoplyanka, who has since moved onto Sevilla.
Errrrm is that one of the worst pieces of journalism ever seen from sky, for one Kiev never reached the final thus Yarmolenko obviously never played in the final, and second Konoplynka didn't then and never has played in the same team as Yarmolenko, ffs like writing a piece and going on about how John Terry and Ryan Giggs won so many trophies together
