Agent Andriy Kirichenko has revealed that two English Championship clubs wanted to invite young Ukrainian players to watch them. However, defender Taras Mikhavko and forward Vladyslav Gerich decided to sign with Dynamo Kyiv.
"We dealt with these players. They have another agent, we co-operated with them. We dealt with communication with English clubs, visas. Heric was to be screened at Preston, and Mikhavko was to be screened at Sunderland. The club liked him very much from the videos.
They were both free agents, because FC Lviv had ceased to exist. All players had the status of free agents. But there appeared a serious competitor - Dynamo Kyiv. The guys decided to stay in Ukraine. I wish them good luck. I hope that their career will work out. God willing, they will play in England. They have great potential," Kirichenko said.
