Certainly be interesting trying to fit Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez and this lad in the same lineup... Like others I hadn't heard of him before last year but he was the most impressive out of Ukraine's players in the England game. Not seen anything else of him apart from youtube.
The article suggests we didn't value Salah as highly as we do this guy (if reports of a 15m bid are true), so I wonder why Konoplyanka was a secondary target?
As others have said, he's not the type of player I'd think should be our priority, an all rounder CM or a fullback is more pressing an issue for me, but more options in the attacking third is no bad thing.
