Former Scotland youth talent set for Ukraine

Robbie Ure could be heading to Ukraine

Scottish forward Robbie Ure could be leaving Sweden for Ukraine, according to Ben Jacobs.

The former Rangers and Anderlecht striker has made 30 appearances for Allsvenskan side Sirius, scoring 11 goals and assisting 4, and it is understood that Polissya Zhytomyr are making moves to sign the 21 year old.

Jacobs reports that Sirius have rejected a bid worth €1.5 million from the Ukranian side, however stated that they are expected to improve this to an offer of €2.5 million. Jacobs also notes that Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg are also interested in the player.

Ure is in the process of claiming Ukrainian citizenship, as his grandfather is a Ukrainian national, which means he will be eligible for the Ukrainian National Team and may be considered for the World Cup qualifying playoffs in March if all goes well. Ure was capped 5 times for Scotland U19s but never any higher.
