Former Dynamo Kyiv defender Vladislav Vashchuk said that he thinks about the possible transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk defender Mykola Matvienko to English Brighton.
Vladislav Vashchuk“Ukrainian footballers are starting to make themselves known in the Premier League. We see how Zinchenko is pulling Arsenal to the championship, Mikolenko shows himself in Everton. We saw the debut of Mudrik, who got off to a good start at Chelsea. If Shakhtar can let Matvienko go for that kind of money, why not?
Will Matvienko be able to show himself in the Premier League? He has fighting qualities, selection, vision of the game, moving forward. He clearly does defensive work. He lacks a little physics for the whole match, concentration. I think that Matvienko will be able to adapt to the Premier League.
The De Zerby Factor (former Shakhtar mentor, and now Brighton head coach, - ed.) also not to be underestimated. He knows him, there is communication with the head coach. It's not like Mudrik came to a coach he doesn't know. De Zerby will help Matvienko to benefit Brighton.
As for the estimated amount of Matvienko's transfer in the amount of 25 million euros, this is the real price for a football player that the team needs right now, without time to build up. There are few such players on the market. Mudryk showed that it is possible to move on,” Vashchuk said.
