"Zorya and Kryvbas wanted to sign the leader of Dynamo's youth team

As Dynamo.kiev.ua has learned, Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih and Zorya Luhansk wanted to strengthen their squad with one of the leaders of Dynamo Kyiv's youth team, midfielder Oleksandr Yatsyk.

The coaches of these teams, Yuriy Vernydub and Patrick van Leeuwen, were personally interested in the player's services.

Vernydub saw Yatsyk as a key player in Kryvbas' midfield in the summer, while Zorya showed interest in the Dynamo player during the winter break. Van Leeuwen considered Oleksandr to be a quality addition for the second part of the season.

But in both cases, the clubs were turned down by Dynamo.
