Everton signing Vitaliy Mykolenko has told fans what to expect from him.
Mykolenko's growing status at Dynamo Kyiv was underlined when, aged 21, he was named captain for a league game against FC Lviv last season. He made a total of 132 first-team appearances for Dynamo, scoring seven goals and providing 20 assists.
Mykolenko said: “I like to play on the front foot and get forward when I can.
“Modern football demands that full-backs are able to attack as well as defend. I think I am a versatile defender who can get up and down the pitch.
“But I believe desire and commitment are the most important attributes and I will aim to bring those qualities.
“I hope it won't take me too long to settle in and get used to the style of football.
“I feel great right now and it is very important for me to communicate with the team, the management and the fans.
“For that, I need to learn the language and understand culture of this city, this country and this club. I will do my very best.
“I believe here at Everton, with the Club's traditions and ambitions, I will grow as a person and as a player."
