Yevhen Olehovych Konoplyanka (Ukrainian: Євген Олегович Коноплянка; born 29 September 1989) is a Ukrainian footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish club Sevilla FC and the Ukraine national team.

He began his professional career at Dnipro, where he made his debut in 2007 and featured in 211 matches across all competitions, scoring 45 goals. He helped them to the 2015 UEFA Europa League Final, and then moved to the team who won that match, Sevilla, on a free transfer in July 2015.

A full international since 2010, Konoplyanka has earned over 40 caps for Ukraine, and scored 10 international goals. He played for Ukraine when they co-hosted Euro 2012. He is a three-time Ukrainian Footballer of the Year.

Club career

At age seven, Konoplyanka signed up for a karate class, which he did simultaneously with football, eventually reaching black belt.[1] He is a product of the youth system of FC Olimpik Kirovohrad, and coach Yuriy Kevlych.[1] He also participated in the Ukrainian National Youth Competition, representing DYuSSh-2 Kirovohrad.

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

Konoplyanka was signed as a youth by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk at age 16.[1] In the winter of 2006 he was promoted to the Dnipro reserves with a starting salary of 300 dollars.[2]

Konoplaynka's senior team debut came in an Ukrainian Premier League match on 26 August 2007 in a home game against Zakarpattia Uzhhorod which ended 0–0.[3] Konoplyanka came on during the 83rd minute, replacing Jaba Kankava.

His first goal in the Ukrainian Premier League came 28 February 2010 in a home game against Zorya Luhansk which ended 2–2.[4] In the second half of the 2009–10 season, Konoplyanka started and played the full 90 minutes in all of the remaining games.

Konoplyanka with Dnipro in 2011.

In March 2011, Dynamo Kyiv interim coach Oleh Luzhny expressed his desire to see Konoplyanka in his ranks and the media reported that Dynamo would make an offer to Dnipro worth 14 million euro.[5] In response, Dnipro coach Juande Ramos placed a sensational scare price-tag ranging from 50 to 60 million euro, commenting that "in order to build a great team, great players should play there."[6]

In January 2014, Konoplyanka nearly moved to English team Liverpool for £16 million, his buyout clause, but Dnipro president Ihor Kolomoyskyi refused to sanction the transfer.[7]

Konoplyanka was a major catalyst in Dnipro's successful 2014-2015 season where he helped them to a 3rd place in the 2014–15 Ukrainian Premier League and a place in the 2015 UEFA Europa League Final. He was named in the 2014–15 Europa League: Squad of the season.[8]

Sevilla

On 2 July 2015, Europa League holders Sevilla FC announced that Konoplyanka was undergoing a medical.[9] A week later, the Spanish club confirmed that he had joined on a free transfer, and signed a four-year deal, with a reported release clause of €40 million.[10][11] On 11 August 2015, he made his first official debut for Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup against F.C Barcelona. He scored his first official goal in that match on the 81st minute which made the score 4-4, but Sevilla ended up losing 5-4 in the second half of the extra added time. This appearance made Konoplyanka the first player to appear in both the Europa League final and the Super Cup for different teams in the same year.[12]

International career

Konoplyanka challenging Sweden's Mikael Lustig at UEFA Euro 2012.

In April 2010, Konoplaynka was first called up to Ukraine's senior national team by head coach Myron Markevych.[13] He made his international debut on 25 May, playing the entirety of a 4–0 friendly win over Lithuania in Kharkiv. Four days later at the Arena Lviv, he scored the equaliser as Ukraine came from behind to defeat Romania 3–2 in another friendly.

In the Euro 2012 tournament Konoplyanka started in all three of Ukraine's matches as the co-hosts exited in the group stage. In their opening game at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, he assisted Andriy Shevchenko's winning goal with a corner for a 2–1 victory against Sweden.[14]

On 11 September 2012, Konoplyanka scored a long-range goal in a 1–1 draw against England at Wembley Stadium in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The BBC said of his performance: "the tremendous Yevhen Konoplyanka delivered a masterful performance to dictate in midfield".[15] He scored two more goals in Ukraine's qualifying campaign, in victories over San Marino and Montenegro, but the team lost to France in a play-off for the tournament.
