Yevhen Khacheridi is said to be a target for Potters boss Mark Hughes.
According to a report in Thursday’s Sun newspaper (page 53), Stoke City are keen on a move for Dynamo Kiev defender Yevhen Khacheridi.
Khacheridi is said to be valued at £10 million by the Ukrainian side, despite being in the final year of his deal.
The 29-year-old has appeared in only one of Dynamo’s five league fixtures this season, which could prompt Stoke to pounce.
The Potters have been linked with a number of centre-backs ahead of next week’s transfer deadline, with Manchester United’s Phil Jones (Sun) and Liverpool’s Mamadou Sakho (Telegraph) the most notable.
Both are established at Premier League level, which will likely appeal to Stoke manager Mark Hughes, although Khacheridi boasts a wealth of experience in Ukrainian, European and international football.
The 2008 arrival from Volyn Lutsk has made over 2000 appearances for Dynamo, winning 45 caps for Ukraine in the meantime.
Stoke are no strangers to the Eastern European market, having been linked with moves for Khacheridi’s clubmate Andriy Yarmolenko and international colleague Yevhen Konplyanka in recent years (Sun).
