Everton handed vital boost as Mykolenko signs new deal

Ukrainian international left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko has officially put pen to paper on a fresh, three-year contract extension with Everton.

The 27-year-old defender was a cornerstone of the Toffees’ backline during their strong finish to the Premier League season.

Securing his long-term future eliminates a major defensive headache for David Moyes, allowing the Goodison hierarchy to fully focus their financial resources on tracking down a high-quality right-back and attacking reinforcements over the coming weeks.
