Sevilla agree deal with Yevhen Konoplyanka

Sevilla have announced that they have reached an agreement to sign highly-rated Ukraine international Yevhen Konoplyanka.

The 25-year-old is on the verge of becoming a free agent, with his contract with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk poised to expire shortly.

Atletico Madrid, along with Premier League duo Newcastle United and Stoke City, were previously linked with the winger.

However, Unai Emery's side appear to have stolen a march on their rivals by reaching an agreement to sign him, subject to a medical.

He netted eight times last term as Dnipro finished third in the Ukrainian top flight.
