Everton fail in last-ditch Yarmolenko bid but still hunting for a number 10
Everton tried to revive complex deal for Andriy Yarmolenko at last minute

Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko
Everton are still trying to sign a playmaker in the final hours of transfer deadline day - after failing in a second bid to land Andriy Yarmolenko.

The Blues had cooled interest in the Dynamo Kiev midfielder after talks reached a stalemate last month, and had identified Shakhtar Donetsk's Bernard as an alternative.

But Everton officials went back to the negotiating table with Kiev over the weekend in the hope of forcing through a move for the Ukraine international.

Everton were ready to meet Yarmolenko's 20m Euros release clause but Kiev were proving difficult to deal with and it is understood they were demanding more money for a deal to go through.

Yarmolenko is keen on a move out of his hometown club - but was never totally sold on a switch to Goodison.

Andriy Yarmolenko of Dynamo Kyiv competes with Steven Naismith during the Europa League round of 16, second leg clash at Olimpiyskiy Stadium in March.


And Kiev feel that should their captain perform well in the group stages of the Champions League then he can seal a January transfer to one of that competition's leading clubs.

The Blues remain interested in striking a deal for Aaron Lennon but are working to add a playmaker to the squad as well, although a loan looks the most likely option at this stage.

Bollocks. We paid £9.5 mil for a CB worth £5 mil. If we were that desperate for a 'no 10' we'd meet the valuation.
 
Last ditch search for a playmaker...after a year of knowing that role was crucial to fill.

Laughing stock club.

Martinez is in on this and has been having us all along as well I take it?

He's the guy who has been telling us exactly what he was bringing in.

Is this classed as his failure? Or is this 100% down to the board?
