Signs new contract with Everton
Mykolenko signed a three-year contract extension with Everton, committing his future to the club through June 2029, the club announced.
Analysis: Mykolenko joined from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2022 and has gone on to make 157 appearances as a regular in the Toffees' backline, establishing himself as one of the more reliable left-backs in the Premier League. The 27-year-old Ukraine international has consistently shown his defensive abilities against the top wingers in the division, while also contributing four goals during his time at the club, including a Goal of the Season volley in a crucial win at Leicester City in May 2022. The defender expressed ambition to push for European football with Everton under coach David Moyes, citing the freedom he has been given on the pitch as a key factor in his decision to extend his stay at the club.
Consistent starter for Everton
Mykolenko has started in all but one game he's been available for Everton in the current EPL campaign.
Analysis: The lone instance in which Mykolenko was an unused sub was the Feb. 23 loss to Manchester United, but other than that, he's been in the XI in every game he's been cleared to play. Don't expect that to change if the defender stays healthy, although he doesn't contribute much in the major fantasy categories. In 26 EPL starts, Mykolenko has one assist, no goals, nine shots and 18 chances created.
