Konoplyanka joins Schalke on loan
Schalke has confirmed the season-long loan signing of Ukraine international winger Yevhen Konoplyanka from Sevilla.
Winger Yevhen Konoplyanka has left Sevilla to join Schalke on loan, with an option to buy, for the 2016-17 season.
The 26-year-old had been linked with a move to the Premier League but has instead agreed a switch to the Bundesliga.
Konoplyanka featured for Ukraine at Euro 2016 but appeared out of favor under Sevilla's new coach Jorge Sampaoli, who has succeeded triple-Europa League winner Unai Emery.
Schalke coach Markus Weinzierl said: "We are excited to have a prolific and fast midfielder who can be used on either flank.
