Everton agree deal for Liverpool and Tottenham target as they eye Chelsea-bound back-up

Everton have reportedly agreed a fee for Dynamo Kiev striker Andriy Yarmolenko

EVERTON have agreed a deal for Dynamo Kiev midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko, according to reports.

 

The Toffees will pay £17.5 million for the Ukraine international, with a four-year contract on offer, according to BT Sport.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Tottenham and Liverpool both keen, despite Yarmolenko saying he'd prefer a move to Chelsea last season.

 

While Everton are also keen to hold on to defender John Stones, having rejected a third bid from the Blues, Roberto Martinez is looking at back-up options.

Andrea Ranocchia is a target of the Spaniard with the Inter Milan defender already linked with a move to the Premier League this summer with Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly interested.
