# West Ham United: Hammers fans flock to Ihor Surkis transfer message

**Flocking to Twitter, these West Ham United fans have absolutely erupted as Dynamo Kiev president Ihor Surkis drops a transfer message involving Andriy Yarmolenko.**

The Ukraine international, signed for [£17.5 million from Borussia Dortmund](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/11432984/andriy-yarmolenko-signs-for-west-ham-from-borussia-dortmund) in the summer of 2018, isn’t exactly [popular among some Irons supporters.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/west-ham-united-irons-fans-slam-andriy-yarmolenko-vs-genk/)

\[freshpress-poll id=”377905″\]

Currently the club’s second-highest earner on [£115,000-per-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/west-ham-united-fc/payroll/), only behind new signing Kurt Zouma, he started[just one Premier League match](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/41672/History/Andriy-Yarmolenko) last year under David Moyes has continued to be a somewhat bit-part figure.

Despite starting two of West Ham’s Group H matches in the Europa League, Yarmolenko has only managed 36 minutes over seven substitute appearances so far in the English top flight ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/41672/History/Andriy-Yarmolenko)).

Unable to replicate his form for Ukraine at club level, Kiev president Surkis has now seemingly hinted he is willing to the 32-year-old off West Ham’s hands and off the wage bill.

When asked about potentially re-signing Yarmolenko, he explained (via [sport.nv](https://sport.nv.ua/ukr/football/yarmolenko-v-dinamo-surkis-prokomentuvav-chutki-pro-transfer-50189914.html)): “There is no such agreement. 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.”

Flocking to this transfer message, it’s safe to say these Irons supporters want it done – find all of their verdicts down below.
