A leading England soccer agent Gary Mellor, who founded Beswicks Sports, has revealed how Dynamo Kiev midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko almost made the move to Stoke City - even before he ended up at Borussia Dortmund in 2017.

- The biggest deal I was involved in that fell through? Yarmolenko's move to Stoke City when he was at the peak of his career. I flew to Kiev and spent a lot of time with him. Mark Hughes (Stoke City head coach from 2013 to 2018, - ed.) also met with him.

And I met with him.

"Four years later Yarmolenko moved to West Ham, but I think he would have been great at Stoke City in that period," Mellor said.
