West Ham are open to offers for Andriy Yarmolenko in January, according to a very reliable source...

What's the word?

Irons insider ExWHUemployee believes David Moyes will not offer the 32-year-old forward a new contract, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.

He has also claimed that the Hammers would be willing to offload him this winter should they receive a decent offer for him.

"There’s a few other contracts that are up. Yarmolenko is one, I don’t think we’ll renew that," Ex explained to his 'The West Ham Way' podcast earlier this week.

"In terms of player departures in January. I mean, I think if an offer came in for Yarmolenko, you could probably expect that to happen."

Bye-bye Yarmolenko?

The vastly-experienced 106-capped Ukraine international has hardly been a hit since joining from Borussia Dortmund nearly four years ago.

He cost around £17.5m, as per Sky Sports, and is supposedly one of their highest-earners on around £115k-per-week at the London Stadium. However, across only 66 appearances, he has only provided ten goals and six assists.

Yarmolenko's last top-flight goal came nearly two seasons ago in 2019/20 and he made just one league start last term, as per Transfermarkt.

The 6 foot 2 winger, who can also play up top, is struggling for game time once again this campaign, having featured for just 358 minutes across all competitions, which is rather telling with the Hammers competing in the Europa League.

Now valued at just £3.6m by Transfermarkt, it's evident that the 32-year-old veteran has overstayed his welcome in east London. He's not offering Moyes anything right now, so it's hardly a surprise that Ex believes he could be moved on at the turn of the year.

In a poll conducted by Football FanCast, 90% of fans agreed that Yarmolenko should have been sold in the summer transfer window, so this latest update should leave them excited heading into the winter.

If the Irons can get him off the wage bill, then it could give them a nice little boost to bring in further additions, another encouraging factor to why many will be thrilled by this news.
