# Blues target Yarmolenko

**Everton are lining up a bid for Dinamo Kyiv’s attacking midfielder Andriy Yarmloenko, if the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-considering-move-dynamo-kiev-9867839) is to be believed.**

The talented international, who can play behind the striker or as a more conventional winger, looks set to leave the Ukrainian capital this summer, and has also been linked with Premier League rivals Stoke City.

Yarmolenko impressed Martinez during the Kyiv-based side’s 6-4 aggregate win over the Blues in last season’s Europa League, scoring a wonderful left-footed effort from range as Dinamo overturned a 2-1 defecit from the first leg.

“He would be a good signing for the Premier League,” the Catalan said in March.

“Any player who has got good ability in one-to-one situations and brings a goal-scoring threat can find a big role.

“Our league is very physical, very demanding. Yarmolenko controls the moment of the game really well.

“He’s got 10, 15 goals a season. He has good experience and is a good age.”

Read Everton understand that Everton will meet with representatives of both the player and the Ukrainian club early this week , with Yarmolenko reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League before the end of the window.
