Arsenal close in on Yarmolenko?

Arsenal are reportedly ready to land the signature of Dynamo Kiev winger Andriy Yarmolenko following his impressive showing this season. The Ukraine international has been the subject of speculation in previous years with the likes of Everton and Liverpool deemed to be interested in his services.

A report from the Mirror claims that the Gunners will step up their pursuit for the talented winger after his excellent performances for club and country this term.

However, the North London giants are likely to face competition from Everton, who have been long-time admirers of the 26-year-old.

Kiev currently rate Yarmolenko at around £25m.
