Liverpool FC and the FC Dnipro have reached an agreement over the transfer fee for playmaker Yevhen Konoplyanka.
The reds have moved quickly in pursuit of the 24 year old Ukrainian after his name was leaked to the media by sources close to Dnipro and had upped their bid to £16M.
Liverpool FC have been gazumped over a number of transfer windows in their chase for targets - missing out for Willian in the summer, before last week losing out to Mohamed Salah.
Whilst FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk are heavily bankrolled by their billionaire owner and thus in no need to sell, the player is reported to be keen on a move to a bigger European league.
The Mirror quoted that the player himself said:
"LFC? I'm so excited about it and soon you will know where I will play.
"It's all very serious. I'm shocked myself. It will all be clear very soon."
Initial suggestions of interest from (obviously) Tottenham appear to have disappeared, but others have suggested that a German club are also interested in the services of the player.
If the player does decide to join Liverpool Football Club then supporters will be hoping he fares better than the last of his countrymen to play for the reds - Andriy Voronin.
Yehven Youtube best bits
At the moment it’s far from done but with a day to go am sure things will speed up and we get are man ,after the fee is agreed and successful medical !
Agree, its not done because the ukrainian transfer window opens on 31/1/14
This is the best news ever the boy has pase and skill and a good passer of the ball and yes he is better then Salah well thats my piont of view ant way , but dont think we will be making any other signing.
Is this true?? Really hope it is, but had the same kinda story bout a wk ago.
Andriy Voronin didn’t have electric pace, technique, close control, or the personality to make it at Liverpool, also with the style Rodgers plays pacey attacking players will always fit like a glove. After all the failed singing since last summer this deal would make up for them, the guys a real talent and I bet Chelsea fans are sick they got Salah and not Konoplyanka especially when they see him ripping defenders a new A hole.
superb winger player who can cross good ball fr sturidge
Millionz; I think he is a really good player not sure about the if he can hack it in premier but only time and Brendon will know that’s if Liverpool get the player 🙂
i hope this is true after what as happened in the passed get danny ings now from burnley done deal
LOL Why would we get another attacker???
ings ideal backup for sturridge and suarez
good news but we need about two more players.
Welcome to LFC my son! YNWA!!!!!!!
