The particularly unknown Ukrainian sprung to light in the World Cup Qualifiers against England, when the left midfielder tormented accomplished English right back Kyle Walker at Wembley, and topped off the performance with a wonder long range strike.

The highly rated 24-year old, who is known for his blistering pace and skill on the ball, already has 35 caps for his national side in a relatively short career.

Liverpool, who have failed to sign a single player this winter, are increasingly hopeful of landing the FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk man after the player’s father talked up a possible transfer to England.

He said, “He can change clubs later this week.”

The Merseyside club are expected to bid anywhere between £15 to £20 million to land the rising star and consolidate their attacking options as they look to break into the top four this season.
