Ukraine left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko from Dynamo Kyiv in a €21m (£17.9m) deal that could rise to €23m with add-ons.

The 22-year-old is due to complete a medical on Friday after agreeing terms on a five-year deal. His arrival could pave the way for the departure of Lucas Digne, who was recently dropped by Rafael Benítez and declared himself unavailable for Thursday’s draw at
Chelsea because of illness.
