Malaga defender Vitorino Antunes has revealed that he is close to joining Ukrainian outfit Dynamo Kiev.

The Portuguese, who has been with Malaga since 2012, will reportedly cost Dynamo in the region of £5m.

"I'm starting a new adventure in my career and will enter it, as always, with great professionalism," Antunes told reporters.

"I'll work to achieve the club's objectives but I want to thank everyone at Malaga, who have shown me great affection over the past two years, and I've been very happy.

"I also want to thank my teammates who have helped me to improve every day I've trained with them."

The 27-year-old is believed to be undergoing a medical in Kiev.
