Tottenham Hotspur should consider making a move for the Schalke winger.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is thought to be keen on adding an established winger to his ranks this summer, in an effort to provide his side with more of a cutting edge this season.
With this in mind, an interesting option for them could be Schalke winger Yevhen Konoplyanka.
The Ukrainian is one of the continent’s most skilful wide attacking players, and he would undoubtedly provide Poch with an entirely different option in the final third.
The 28-year-old moved to Schalke from Sevilla initially on a two-year loan deal in the summer of 2016, before making his switch a permanent one this summer.

He is a right-footed left winger by trade, but he can play anywhere along the front line, and he would provide excellent competition for the likes of Heung-Min Son, Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura at White Hart Lane.
Konoplyanka has racked up 66 goals and 53 assists in 321 career appearances – a decent return for a winger, and that kind of output would certainly be welcome at Tottenham.
He still has two years remaining on his current contract with Schalke, and Spurs surely possesses the financial firepower to tempt the Bundesliga outfit into selling the 71-capped Ukraine international.
The pacey winger is at an age where he will be entering his prime years very shortly, and he possesses the kind of quality that would surely see him make a huge impact on the Tottenham first-team, if Pochettino does in fact bring him to north London this summer.
