Yehor Yarmolyuk continues to live up to his agent’s claim that he is in the right place amid interest from Brentford’s Premier League rivals.
The 21-year-old completed the most passes in the game as the Bees beat Everton 4-2 to move just four points clear of the top four.

The Ukraine international has come of age this season to fill the void left by outgoing captain Christian Norgaard’s move to Arsenal.
Yarmolyuk has been a constant presence for Keith Andrews’ side this season, appearing in all 20 Premier League games, including 18 starts.
The former Dnipro 1 star thrived alongside Jordan Henderson and also provided his first two assists in England’s top flight.
Yarmolyuk, who became the second-youngest player in the history of Ukraine’s top division at just 16 years old, has always been on the path to success.
Vadim Shablii, Founder of ProStar Football Agency, which has the Ukrainian on its books, told The Pitch Prospect.com: “Yehor is an example of a player who had the right attitude from a young age.”
“At Dnipro he always stood out for his discipline, his sense of responsibility and his strong desire to learn. He is not just a talented footballer – he is a hard worker.”
“When he moved to England it was clear that adapting could be a challenge, but his professionalism and inner motivation made the difference.”
“In every game he leaves everything on the pitch and is ready to fight for every ball until the end.”
“He has excellent vision and in one of the games he provided a brilliant assist for his teammate.” [Igor Thiago’s goal vs West Ham].
“Overall, he is going through an important phase in his development as a player in one of the best leagues in the world – and this experience is priceless.”

Yarmolyuk’s agent about his transfer interest
The youngster is Brentford’s best midfielder in tackles and blocks in the Premier League this season, while he is also second in duels won.
His rapid rise to becoming a top regular has left the Bees wary of interest from European giants in their latest talent.
According to the BBC, Manchester United are said to have added Yarmolyuk to their target list, with Chelsea also expressing their interest.
Links to Tottenham have since emerged due to the player’s past with Thomas Frank, who was full of praise for Yarmolyuk at Brentford.
However, Shablii told The Pitch Prospect: “At the moment Yehor is in the right place and all his thoughts are focused on becoming an indispensable player and leader in Brentford’s starting XI.”

Yarmolyuk ‘happy to be at Brentford’
“During this summer transfer window there was interest in him from clubs in Italy, Germany and of course England – but everything has its time,” Shablii continued.
“At the moment he is happy to be at Brentford but I am sure there will be even greater interest in him in the future.”
