Yarmolenko is one of those annoying stars who have still got the skills to bamboozle even the most experienced of opponents, but very rarely use the same to its best effect.
He would almost certainly be classed as a luxury player for a team that are as hard-working as Sean Dyche’s outfit, but perhaps that’s what the manager is after to take them to the next level.
Either way, David Moyes will arguably be keen to get the player’s reported £115,000 per week wages off of his books.
