West Ham United could be set to release Ukrainian winger Andriy Yarmolenko on a free transfer as they look to garner salary funds, according to Haber 365 [via Sportslens].
Enjoying a productive 2020/21 campaign, the 28-year-old registered eight goal contributions in 24 games for the Hammers, with three goals and five assists [Transfermarkt].
Fresh from participating in the European Championship with Ukraine, he demonstrated his quality when called upon, with two goals and two assists in five games [UEFA.com] as his nation reached the quarter-finals.
However, he could now be set for an exit from the London Stadium after three years at the club. In light of this news, a number of West Ham supporters took to Twitter to vent their frustration about his possible departure.
West Ham United fans react:
Replying to popular West Ham United fan account West Ham Central, here is how some Hammers fans responded to the story, with one supporter describing it as potentially "terrible business":
"Why is it we qualify for Europe and then start letting players go on a free? They may be useful against some foreign sides. I would keep both of them tbh, they could be invaluable in the EL"
