Arsenal agree £23m deal to sign prolific forward in the summer

Arsenal have reportedly agreed a £23 million deal to sign Dynamo Kiev forward Andriy Yarmolenko in the summer, according to the Daily Star, via Sport, a Ukrainian news outlet.

The Ukraine international has been in demand across a number of transfer windows now, but it looks as though the Gunners may have finally struck a deal, although he wouldn’t link with the North London outfit until the end of the current campaign.

The news will come as a big blow to Premier League rivals, Everton, who have held a long-term interest in the 26-year-old.

Yarmolenko has scored 76 goals in 187 matches in all competitions for Kiev, and has also struck 22 times in 55 caps for his country.
