Rafa Benitez was tight-lipped when asked about Everton's interest in left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko.
It is understood that the Blues have their sights set on the 22-year-old Dynamo Kiev defender ahead of the January transfer window.
Mykolenko has been on the club's radar for some time and they appear ready to make a move for the Ukraine international.
But Benitez was not prepared to discuss the player following Everton's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

"At the moment I cannot say too much, because I was focused on the game," he said.
"Now it is [about] trying to enjoy it, we will have plenty of time to talk about the transfer window."
Should a move for Mykolenko materialise, then the Blues will also target a right-back and midfielder in the transfer window, when it opens next month.
