West Ham Super Fans react to news on Andriy Yarmolenko
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Ham United Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around the London Stadium. You can join in the discussion on our West Ham Zone Facebook page.
West Ham Super Fans have flocked to a post on the West Ham Zone Facebook page about Andriy Yarmolenko.
According to a report from Claret & Hugh, the 31-year-old is not expected to move to Turkey before their transfer window slams shut on the 8th of this month.
Yarmolenko is one of the Hammers’ highest wage earners but struggles for much game time under David Moyes [Spotrac].
Therefore, these Super Fans want to see him leave the club.
Should Yarmolenko leave?
The 31-year-old has a fantastic goalscoring record for his country, and in the Euros, he scored twice and provided two assists.
However, for the Irons, he hasn’t even made 60 appearances in three years with the club and has only ever scored seven goals in the Premier League.
Therefore, you can see why some of our Super Fans are so keen to see him leave the club, especially when he is on that kind of money.
Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t appear as if any club from Turkey or anywhere else is going to take on Yarmolenko, which means that he will probably be stuck at the London Stadium until at least January.
In January, he can start speaking to other clubs from abroad about a pre-contract agreement, and we hope that one club decides to take the former Borussia Dortmund winger on board sooner rather than later.
It is pretty clear that his future is not with the Irons, so the quicker he leaves, the better, really as it could open many more doors in terms of incomings.
In other West Ham news, many of our Super Fans are fuming with PAI Capital.
