Andriy Yarmolenko has been on fire since his West Ham United exit and his stats make for some really interesting reading.
West Ham released the 33-year-old forward at the end of last season, after he created some real memories in his final season at the London Stadium.

Yarmolenko left the London Stadium in the summer after fairly underwhelming four-year spell with the Hammers.
Yarmolenko was signed from Borussia Dortmund for £18 million in 2018 (talkSPORT) but unfortunately for him, he lacked the kind of pace and physicality needed to succeed in the English game.
However, for all his faults, he was fairly popular at the London Stadium.
Mainly because of some memorable goals including the one that essentially kept us up in 2020 against Chelsea, the winning goal against Sevilla in the Europa League, and more recently his winning strike against Aston Villa in the Premier League, just after Russia had invaded his country Ukraine.
But how has he got on since he left the London Stadium?
Andriy Yarmolenko on fire since West Ham exit
The Ukrainian has actually been a big hit with Al-Ain out in the UAE.
Yarmo has bagged eight goals and five assists in 22 games for his new club (Transfermarkt).
His side are currently sitting in fourth spot in the UAE League, two points adrift of the league leaders midway through the season.
The Ukraine international was never good enough for the Premier League in my opinion.
Andriy Yamrolenko will always be remembered fondly by the West Ham fans though.
And it is nice to see him doing so well out in the United Arab Emirates after what has been a really tough year for him.
