Dynamo Kiev hoping to retain Ukraine hero Shevchenko

Dynamo Kiev are determined to hold on to evergreen striker Andriy Shevchenko.

The 35-year old again showed his brilliance despite his ageing years by scoring a match-winning double for Ukraine against Sweden at Euro2012 on Monday, prompting clubs around the world to show interest.

Former AC Milan and Chelsea striker Shevchenko is out of contract at Dynamo but the club are keen to retain his services if it were possible.

"Everybody wants Andriy and we do as well," Dynamo manager Yuri Semin told the club's official website.

"In this situation Andriy should make the decision himself. Everything is down to him."
