The 19-year-old midfielder, who played in all three of Ukraine's matches at UEFA Euro 2016, has scored twice in 31 appearances for Ufa, for whom he signed from Shakhtar Donetsk.

With his goal in a 4-3 friendly win over Romania in May, Zinchenko became Ukraine's youngest goalscorer, at 19 years and 165 days, beating a record set by Andriy Shevchenko.

Zinchenko is set to become the sixth player from Ukraine to play in the Premier League.
