Finnish midfielder Alexei Eremenko has revealed there is a possibility his loan spell at Kilmarnock could be cut short.
The playmaker has been in inspired form since joining Kilmarnock in August and turned in another impressive display in his the 1-1 draw against Dundee United on Saturday. But the Finnish international, who is on loan from Ukrainian outfit Metalist Kharkiv, admits he could leave Mixu Paatelainen's side during the January transfer window.
"Many things depend on Metalist. It is a possibility that they could recall me in January or sell me on," said Eremenko.
"I'm enjoying my time here and the team is doing great so I'm not thinking about it too much.
"I will see what happens in January but right now I'm concentrating on doing my best here."
Eremenko joins up with his national side for their European Championships Group E qualifier against San Marino on Wednesday. And the midfielder thinks Killie boss Paatelainen is the ideal candidate to replace the recently departed Stuart Baxter.
Eremenko added: "I haven't heard anything about it but maybe I will this week.
"He, of course, has the quality to do the job as he knows the European style of football as well as the Finnish people and their mentality.
"It is a different case for me as I will have him with the national team if he does get the job or I will have him here if he stays."
