Vitalii Mykolenko

Vitalii Mykolenko is Everton's Bronze Wall, a defensive fixture who arrived in Merseyside with a pedigree of success. Boasting eight career trophies including the Ukrainian Premier League and Cup, the left-back has established himself as a reliable pillar in the Toffees' backline since his move from Dynamo Kyiv in 2022.

Defining himself as a SQUAD PLAYER who rarely misses a beat, Mykolenko has clocked 1,881 minutes across 21 appearances during the campaign. While his profile is built on defensive stability, he is on an upward trajectory, reflected by a form rating of 100. A Workrate score of 52 is the engine behind his performance, driving him to track back and shut down opposition wingers consistently on the pitch. With one assist in his last five matches, his contribution is becoming increasingly multifaceted as he maintains the Balance between his defensive duties and supporting the transition. This level of Intensity ensures he remains a primary choice for a side that demands physical resilience in every match.

The Stakes remain high for Mykolenko as he enters a crucial period of his contract, which runs until 2026. Despite a market value of €25M showing a downward trend, his experience as a decorated international provides Everton with necessary leadership during a demanding Premier League campaign.
