# West Ham United: Hammers fans flock to Yarmolenko claim

**According to a report by Turkish newspaper Fotomac, via[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-ready-open-talks-sign-west-ham-new-club-chief-elected/), Super Lig giants Galatasaray could open official talks to sign West Ham United forward Andriy Yarmolenko.**

Yarmolenko barely featured for the Hammers over 2020/2021 due to a combination of [injury problems](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-yarmolenko/verletzungen/spieler/69015) and falling further down the pecking order.
