A fresh insight into the chances of Everton\u2019s supporters being afforded a first look at new signing Vitaliy Mykolenko against Brighton has been provided on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Rafael Benitez\u2019s men are of course set to return to action tomorrow afternoon.<\/p>\n

As part of a busy day of football in the Premier League, the Toffees will welcome the aforementioned Brighton & Hove Albion to Goodison Park, eyeing a much-needed three points.<\/p>\n

Though they have lost just one of the club\u2019s last three league outings, Everton, all told, have managed just a solitary victory since late September.<\/p>\n

Such a dismal stretch of form has seen the Blues slip to the depths of 15th in the English top-flight table, albeit in the knowledge that a rare three-point haul in their game in hand would guide them clear of the likes of Southampton and Brentford.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As such, it goes without saying that Everton will, for obvious reasons, guide his side into Sunday\u2019s action hopeful of having as many of his key performers as possible fit and ready to feature from the off.<\/p>\n

One such player expected to play a starring role at Goodison Park over the seasons to come, however, will play no part versus Brighton, it has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

The individual in question? Vitaliy Mykolenko.<\/p>\n

On the back of weeks of rampant speculation, the arrival of left-back Mykolenko on the blue half of Merseyside was finally made official earlier today, on the back of the opening of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is understood<\/a> to have set those in a position of power at Everton back a considerable sum of around \u00a317 million.<\/p>\n
