West Ham return to sender

|

Hammer Andriy Yarmolenko could return to a former club when his West Ham contract expires.

The Ukraine international joined West Ham back in July 2018 for around £17.5million from Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

Yarmolenko has shown glimpses of his talent for his country but has never performed regularly for West Ham. His best West Ham season was in 2019-20, when he managed five goals in 23 Premier League appearances.

For Ukraine he has scored an impressive 44 goals in 104 matches, only his national manager Andriy Shevchenko has managed more than him, although that record is in his sights.

Dynamo Kiev president Ihor Surkis has suggested that Yarmolenko could return to Ukraine. During a recent interview, translated by Sport Witnessthe chief said: “There is no such agreement, but it depends on both parties. If Andriy has a desire, I will gladly give him the opportunity to end his career at his home club.

With Michail Antonio the only recognised striker and West Ham in the Europa League, Yarmolenko could get a lot more minutes on what will be his last season as a Hammer.
