Bournemouth have conducted checks on Taras Mykhavko, a 20-year-old Ukrainian defender from Dynamo Kyiv. Other Premier League clubs are also monitoring the player. Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Brighton & Hove Albion have also performed checks on the left-sided centre-back. There is interest in Mykhavko in England; Manchester United and Chelsea are among the clubs admiring him, and Tottenham Hotspur have discussed him internally. It is reported that Nottingham Forest view him as a potential replacement for Murillo. The defender signed a new long-term contract with the Kyiv club in January, and interest in him is increasing before the summer transfer window. The Ukraine international has one cap for his country and has made 17 appearances and scored 2 goals in the Premier Liga this season. In August 2025, it was reported that Dynamo Kyiv rejected a €15 million offer from Marseille and set an asking price of €25 million. Reports from October 2025 claimed Porto was willing to pay €20 million for the defender. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €8.00m.
