Report: Sevilla lead Yevhen Konoplyanka race

Sevilla are reportedly leading the race to sign Ukrainian international Yevhen Konoplyanka on a free transfer this summer.

The 25-year-old will be officially out of contract at Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on June 30 and has been strongly linked with a move to Stoke City.

However, according to Cadena SER, Sevilla are at the head of the queue for the attacker, who scored eight times for Dnipro during the 2014-15 campaign.

Konoplyanka, who has scored eight times in 43 appearances for his country, has spent his entire professional career with Dnipro, making his first-team debut in 2007.
