The Ukraine international has come of age this season to fill the void left by departing captain Christian Norgaard’s move to Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yarmolyuk has been nearly ever-present for Keith Andrews’ side this season, featuring in all 20 Premier League games with 18 starts.<\/p>\n

The ex-Dnipro-1 starlet has flourished alongside Jordan Henderson<\/a>, registering his first two assists in England’s top-flight as well.<\/p>\n

Yarmolyuk, who became the second-youngest player in Ukrainian top-flight history at just 16, has always been set for success.<\/p>\n

Vadim Shablii, founder of\u00a0ProStar Football Agency<\/a>, which has the Ukrainian on their books, told talkSPORT.com: “Yehor is an example of a player who had the right attitude from a very young age.<\/p>\n

“At Dnipro, he always stood out for his discipline, responsibility, and strong desire to learn. He is not just a talented footballer \u2014 he is a hard worker. <\/p>\n

“When he moved to England, it was clear that adaptation could be challenging, but his professionalism and inner motivation made the difference. <\/p>\n

“In every match, he leaves everything on the pitch and is ready to fight for every ball until the very end.<\/p>\n

“He has excellent vision, and in one of the games, he provided a brilliant pre-assist to his teammate [Igor Thiago’s goal vs West Ham].<\/p>\n

“Overall, he is going through an important stage of his development as a player in one of the best leagues in the world \u2014 and that experience is priceless.”<\/p>\n

Yarmolyuk has kicked on to become a Brentford regular, as former manager Frank predictedYarmolyuk’s agent on his transfer interest<\/p>\n

The youngster tops Brentford’s midfielders for tackles and blocks in the Premier League this season, while he’s also second for duels won.<\/p>\n

His rapid rise to top-flight regular has left the Bees fearing the interest of European giants in their latest talent.<\/p>\n

Manchester United are said to have added Yarmolyuk<\/a> to their list of targets, as per the BBC, with Chelsea also touted with an interest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Links to Tottenham<\/a> have since emerged due to the player’s history with Thomas Frank, who was full of praise for Yarmolyuk<\/a> at Brentford.<\/p>\n

However, Shablii told talkSPORT: “Right now, Yehor is in the right place, and all his thoughts are focused on becoming an indispensable player and a leader in Brentford\u2019s starting XI.<\/p>\n
