The Ukrainian winger has recently been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for Ukrainian hotshot Andriy Yarmolenko earlier in the week.

According to The Sun, Tottenham are lining up a move to sign the Dynamo Kiev attacker in a deal worth £18 million.

According to a report from Football.ua the winger also refused to play in Dynamo Kiev’s league game with Stal Kamianske recently, although the club claimed he had a back injury.

Now the Dynamo Kiev president has admitted the market is open for the winger.

He told the club’s official website:

“Offers no, but if received, we will consider them.

“Probably, you are primarily concerned with the situation Yarmolenko?

“I will say that everything is transparent – if someone receives an offer, we sit down at the negotiating table and see it.”

Nearly a year ago Yarmolenko agreed a new contract extension with Dynamo. His contract was due to expire in 2016 and he admitted on the official Dynamo Kiev website after signing the new deal that he only did so to ensure Kiev got a fee should he depart.

Kiev are now seemingly looking to live up to their side of the bargain and it appears as though the Ukrainian international is available at the right price this week.

However, Spurs interest has surely been called into question recently.

The club are hopeful of signing fellow wingers Wilfried Zaha and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou before the end of the transfer window – making a Yarmolenko transfer unlikely.
