New signing tells Chelsea and Liverpool: I'm still open to a move to the Premier League

Andriy Yarmolenko signed a new five-year contract at Dynamo Kiev

ANDRIY YARMOLENKO claims he is still open to a move to the Premier League despite signing a new contract at Dynamo Kiev.

 

The Ukraine international penned a new five-year deal earlier today despite reported interest form a host of Europe's top clubs.

Liverpool are understood to retain an interest in the winger, while Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was in Kiev to watch Ukraine take on Spain earlier this week.

Yarmolenko was thought to be one of a number of players he was casting his eye over.

And the new contract does not appear to mean he will not jump at the chance to move in the future.

"I still want to try my hand at some of the top championships as part of one of the strongest European clubs," he said.

"I know that if Dynamo do receive a really serious proposal, we will find an option that will suit all parties.

 

"Frankly, I really want for my club received adequate training compensation. I could have soon left for free, but I felt that on my part it would be wrong."

Everton could also enter the race for his signature again as they were understood to have agreed a fee of £15million in the summer.

And his comments might suggest anyone willing to stump up the cash might still have a chance of landing him.
