- There has been information that Christian Shevchenko has been granted Ukrainian citizenship. Do you know about this and do you plan to call him up for your team's next matches?

- Yes, we know about it. Yes, we are planning to. I am in contact with the coaches and Watford analysts. I watched his last three games. He has a very decent level, so we plan to call him up.

It will be recalled that Christian Shevchenko plays in the Watford academy at the U-17 and U-18 levels, and has already made his debut for the U-21s.
