The president of Zhytomyr Polesya Gennadiy Butkevich has confirmed that his club were targeting two leaders of Dnipro 1 - midfielders Oleksandr Pikhalenok and Oleksiy Gutsulyak.
"I won't hide, I like these footballers. But Dnipro-1 are not interested in selling them. We respect the decision of Dnipro-1, but Polesie will not stand in line and wait for a decision. I am sure we can find other quality players to achieve our goal.
We do not concentrate on names, we are focused on playing qualities. It can be seen in the preliminary successful transfers. Fans of "Polesie" can expect that the team will get stronger," - Butkevich's words are quoted by the official website of "Polesie".
Recall, earlier there was information that Dynamo Kyiv are also targeting Gutsulyak.
