Liverpool are ready to activate the £14.5m release clause of Dynamo Kyiv forward Andriy Yarmolenko, according to reports.
The Ukraine international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Arsenal and Everton also reportedly interested in the 25-year-old.
According to Daily Express [via Daily Star], however, Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to add one more player to his squad before the end of the summer window, with the Northern Irishman understood to be keen to sign Yarmolenko.
Yarmolenko has scored an impressive 71 goals in 177 league matches for Dynamo Kiev and has hit the back of the net 19 times in 49 appearances for the Ukraine national side.
Meanwhile, the Reds have missed out on Jakub Blaszczykowksi with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder agreeing a deal to join Serie A giants Fiorentina.
Liverpool have until 6pm tonight to finalise a deal for Yarmolenko.
