Andriy Yarmolenko signs contract extension

Rumoured Chelsea and Everton target Andriy Yarmolenko has signed a contract extension with Dynamo Kiev, keeping him with the club until 2020.

The Ukraine international was heavily linked with a move to Goodison Park over the summer, while Jose Mourinho watched the 25-year-old in action in the recent 1-0 defeat to Spain amid speculation that Chelsea are preparing a bid for the striker.

Yarmolenko told the club's website: "I still want [to play in a foreign league]. I know that if Dynamo get really worthy offers we'll find an option that satisfies everyone.

"I want the club to get good compensation for me. I could have left for free in a while, but that would have been wrong. I am 100% a Dynamo player. Our team is like my second family. That's why I keep doing my best to benefit the club."

Barcelona and Italian side Lazio have also been linked with Yarmolenko in recent months.
