Actor and screenwriter Rostislav Khait admits he loves watching West Ham attacker Andriy Yarmolenko play for Ukraine.

Khait likens Yarmolenko to former Arsenal star Andriy Arshavin.

He told Sport-Express: "I really like Yarmolenko. A real captain, inspires teammates by personal example. Scores, tackles, behaves freely outside the field. Remember his funny behavior at the press conference after the match with Macedonia?

"Which of our players could have done it like Yarmolenko? Just like Arshavin. Internal freedom allows the captain of the Ukrainian national team to score goals like those with Holland. He is a fixer. In this regard, he has a lot in common with Arshavin."
