Hammers could write off another £30m this summer

West Ham could write off another £30m this summer if they manage to sell Felipe Anderson and Andriy  Yarmolenko.

Yarmolenko was bought in the summer of 2018 for £18m from Borussia Dortmund but could be sold for around £7m if reports are to be believed, a loss of £11m over three years.  The 31-year-old will have just 12 months left on his contract in June and has just suffered a serious knee ligament injury which could keep him out for months.

Felipe Anderson who was bought for £36m from Lazio in the same summer of 2018 could be sold for just £17m, a loss of £19m over the three years. He is currently on loan to FC Porto for the season with the Hammers desperate to recoup some of the money they laid out for him during Manuel Pellegrini’s tenure.

The potential writing off of another £30m for these two players comes on top of the £25m loss the Hammers made on Sebastian Haller this winter. The former Frankfurt striker was bought for £45m in the summer 2019 only to be sold  to Ajax this January for just over £20m.
