Lincoln City have signed Ukrainian midfielder Ivan Varfolomeyev from Czech side Slovan Liberec for a club-record transfer fee.
BBC Radio Lincolnshire understands the Imps have paid about £350,000 for Varfolomeyev, which would surpass the club’s previous record fee paid for John Akinde in 2018.
The 21-year-old, who was born in Crimea, made his first-team debut for Ukrainian top-flight club Rukh Lviv against Shakhtar Donetsk in February 2021.
He moved to Slovan Liberec a year later, and last season established himself as an important squad player, making 20 league appearances.
He has seven caps for Ukraine Under-21s.
