Dynamo Kiev president Ihor Surkis has again weighted into the debate over Andriy Yarmolenko's future.
He will only allow his star man to join a club competing at the highest level, telling UNIAN: "If I get an offer that will suit Dynamo and Yarmolenko wants to go to this club, I'll let him.
“My position is that we should not let Yarmolenko go to such clubs as like Everton and Stoke City. Dynamo is Dynamo and Stoke City is Stoke. We're playing in the Champions League, and Stoke City are fighting for survival."
The news will come as a boost to Liverpool, who have previously been linked with a move for the Ukraine international.
