Shevchenko urges AC Milan to sign Yarmolenko
The Milan legend has urged the club to sign his compatriot following another disappointing campaign
Andriy Shevchenko has urged former club AC Milan to make a move for Dynamo Kiev star Andriy Yarmolenko.
After another disappointing campaign the Serie A giants are going to miss out on European football again next season, having finished in seventh.
The club are planning a busy summer, bringing in reinforcements to strengthen the squad ahead of what will hopefully be a more successful season.
Club hero Shevchenko has pointed them in the direction of his compatriot, who is set to leave his club this summer, and has already drawn interest from clubs like Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton in England.
"In Ukraine we have Yarmolenko, who I like a lot," Shevchenko told Milan Channel.
"He plays wide on the right but he can also play on the left and he will become a good player.
"I would point Milan in his direction."
The 26-year-old has four years remaining on his contract and would cost the Serie A side around £25million.
