# West Ham: Fans react to Andriy Yarmolenko update

**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](https://www.haber365.com.tr/fenerbahce-andriy-yarmolenko-ile-anlasma-sagladi-g59228) \[via [Sportslens](https://sportslens.com/west-ham-sell-felipe-anderson-with-yarmolenko-also-set-to-leave/372144/)\].**

Replying to popular West Ham United fan account [West Ham Central](https://twitter.com/WestHam_Central/status/1414884224990121984), 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”**

**“Sorry but if this is true then they must have players waiting to sign….Surely you can’t be a month away from the Premier League starting and haven’t signed anyone but are willing to release them for free”**
