Everton complete the signing of Ukrainian defender Vitaliy Mykolenko from Dynamo Kiev

Everton have confirmed their first capture of the January transfer window, securing the services of highly-rated Dynamo Kiev full-back Vitaliy Mykolenko, for an undisclosed fee.

The Ukraine international, who will wear the No. 19 shirt, has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal until June 2026, having impressed for both club and country.

His move to Goodison Park could see him replace the out-of-favour Lucas Digne, who continues to be linked with a move away, following a fall out with manager Rafael Benitez. Newcastle, Brighton, Chelsea and Inter Milan are all keen on swoop for the Frenchman.
