Newcastle United enter race for Yevhen Konoplyanka

24 June 2015 - 08:57

Newcastle United are the latest club to show interest in signing Ukrainian international Yevhen Konoplyanka during the summer transfer window.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Man Utd serious about signing Rafael Leao


  • The talented midfielder is a free agent once his contract at Dnipro expires on July 1.

    Konoplyanka has been heavily linked with a move to the English top tier, having missed out on a deadline day switch to Liverpool last summer.

    Stoke City were understood to have finalised a contract with the 26-year-old, but The Mirror reports that the Magpies are ready to battle it out for the player's services.

    Konoplyanka played a crucial role in Dnipro's Europa League campaign, as they eventually lost to Sevilla by a 3-2 scoreline in the final.
