Everton are looking to activate the release clause of star Andriy Yarmolenko, according to reports from theLiverpool Echo.

The Toffees have been in the market to sign a new attacking player recently and it has been revealed that they have set their sights on Ukrainian star Yarmolenko.

Now according to the reports, Everton are ramping up their bid for Yarmolenko and are ready to match his £14.25million release clause at Dynamo Kiev.

However, the Ukrainian club are asking for most of the fee up front rather than instalments which could stall the potential move.
