"The signing of an agreement between the Ukrainian champion and Patrick van Leeuwen is a matter of the near future. Detailed negotiations have not yet taken place, but there is an agreement in principle on both sides. Van Leeuwen is a creature of the club's owner, who is supported by Shakhtar's CEO Sergei Palkin.
The favourite to replace the Dutchman at Zorya is Valeriy Kryventsov, whose candidacy is supported by Yevhen Heller's advisers inside and outside the club," reads a message on the TaToTake telegram channel.
