Benitez took over Everton this season, but the team suffered a serious wave of injuries, and in the face of such difficulties, Everton recently beat Arsenal and forced a draw with Chelsea. Now that Everton have news of the team's reinforcement, they will have a new left-back.
The latest news from the well-known Italian journalist Romano, Kiev's Ukrainian left-back Miklenko is undergoing a medical examination by Everton, and it is not surprising that he joined the Toffee in the winter window, with a transfer fee of around 21 million euros.
The 22-year-old Miklenko, a Ukrainian international, has played a total of 15 Ukrainian Premier League matches with 1 assist for Dynamo Kiev this season, and also started 5 Champions League matches. Miklenko can play at left-back or centre-back, and the current value of the player in Germany is 17 million euros.
Both Everton and Roma wanted to bring in 22-year-old Miklenko in the winter window, and now Everton has taken the lead. Everton's introduction of Miklenko would replace Digne, which was not part of Benitez's plans. Dynamo Kiev boss Lucescu also suggested that his disciple Miklenko choose Everton because the Premier League is a really good stage where players can get more exercise and growth when they play football.
