The report does not suggest if the interest will be in anyway dependent on the club’s pursuit of French winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou, but it is fair to say at this point in his career, Yarmolenko is a more polished player.
Yarmolenko has been prolific for Kiev in recent seasons, long linked with a move to the Premier League.
He has a contract until 2020, and has netted two goals in two games for his club this season, while in 2015/16 he struck 19 goals in 34 appearances.

The rumours of his potential arrival has Tottenham fans hopeful the club can pull off a deal before transfer deadline.
