Previously, Vorskla was interested in the Ukrainian, whose coach Skripnik moved to the Kharkov club
According to information Sports Arenato the Georgian forward Deals for Nikolay Kovtalyuk Kharkov Metalist 1925 is showing interest.
This is probably due to the recent appointment of Viktor Skripnyk to the post of head coach of the Kharkov team. In the first half of the season, the 54-year-old specialist worked with Vorskla and with them was eliminated from Dila in the Conference League qualifications (2:1, 1:3). Kovtalyuk scored in both of these fights.
At the same time, in August 2023, it was reported that Kovtalyuk could move to Vorskla in the winter, at the end of his contract with the Georgian club.
Another Ukrainian legionnaire from Dily, goalkeeper Evgeniy Kucherenko, may also end up in the UPL in the near future. Among others, LNZ and Vorskla are laying claim to it.
28-year-old Kovtalyuk has been playing for Dila (with breaks) for six years. In its composition, he became the top scorer and the best foreign player in the Georgian championship. In 2021, Zarya was interested in him.
In the 2023 season, the Ukrainian forward scored 13 goals in 35 matches for Dila. He scored three goals in European Cup qualifying.
After 17 rounds of the UPL, Metalist 1925, having scored 15 points, is in 12th place in the table, one point above the zone of transition matches. At the same time, the Kharkiv team lost their last five matches with a total score of 6:15.
In the 18th round, Metalist 1925 will play against Dynamo in a nominally home match. The base date of the tour is February 24.
