Everton Transfers: 9 Players Martinez Must Sign In January
7. Andriy Yarmolenko (Dynamo Kiev)
This one would be a dream ticket for Evertonians, and although it seems like a long shot, stranger things have happened in football - like Kevin Keegans Brut adverts and Jonathan Woodgates Real Madrid career, for instance. Martinez is a known admirer of Dynamo Kiev ace Andriy Yarmolenko, a forward whos caused problems for some of the worlds top clubs in European competitions and netted 22 times in 55 appearances for the Ukraine. With Steven Naismith looking destined for the Goodison Park exit and Arouna Kone struggling to find consistency, Yarmolenko would slot right into Evertons setup and help propel them towards the business end of the Premier League. The thought of a top-class forward like Yarmolenko linking up with Evertons free-scoring target man Romelu Lukaku is a tantalising prospect, but we should probably file this one under nice idea, not gonna happen for now. While Martinezs interest in the Ukrainian is believed to be serious, securing his signature is an Eastern promise hes unlikely to keep, given that Real Madrid, Lazio, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be in the chase.
