West Ham Pulse: What should happen with Andriy Yarmolenko?

West Ham and their fans around short on the love lost for Andriy Yarmolenko this season. With the Ukrainian looking sharp in the Euros, what happens now?

Since coming to West Ham, the play or lack thereof for Andriy Yarmolenko has always been a major talking point. In three seasons with the club, he played 47 matches, only contributing nine times (seven goals, two assists). He has been the talk of many a transfer rumor, and with his stock rising at the Euro’s, we ask what are you doing with him this summer?

Better yet, Hammers Polls and HammersPolls.com asked the question a few days ago on Twitter. Yarmolenko has always been one for the flare and excitement, and he is doing it again on the world’s stage. After winning Man of the Match against Northern Ireland this past weekend, you, the reader, had the chance to weigh in on the question:

West Ham Pulse: What should happen with Andriy Yarmolenko?

The constant question that has been arising around West Ham is what do they do about depth? Of course, the smart money would be to keep the players you have and then add to it. However, in the case of Yarmo, he might be more valuable gone than staying in East London. The Hammers are short on right-sided midfielders, but plenty of replacements out there could fulfill his role.

After the Hammers 3-0 victory over Southampton on the last matchday of the season, the face of Yarmo told it all. As he was about to enter towards the end of the match, time ran out on the match and potentially his time at West Ham. It’s safe to say that there might be about as much excitement for him leaving as there was when he signed three years ago.

The 31-year-old is still on contract through the upcoming year, so the club could decide to keep him at a depth option, but it isn’t very likely. Although there is nothing to suggest that the Gaffer doesn’t fancy him, he just hasn’t played under him well or much at all. So regardless of the transfer fee, getting his wages off the books would be a promising outlook towards something else.
