ExWHUemployee has claimed that there is no substance in rumours linking West Ham forward Andriy Yarmolenko with a move to Fenerbahce.

Turkish media outlet Fotomac claimed earlier this week that Fenerbahce are eyeing a January swoop for the 31-year-old Hammers ace.

Yarmolenko moved to the London Stadium from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2018 for around £18 million (Football Insider).

The 91-capped Ukraine international has failed to have much of an impact at West Ham, however.

The £115k-a-week ace (Spotrac) has racked up just nine goals and five assists in 41 games for the Hammers (Transfermarkt).

And Yarmolenko appears to be well out of favour with David Moyes at the moment.

ExWHUemployee has rubbished rumours linking Yarmo with a move to Fenerbahce, however, suggesting that the links lack any kind of substance.

The Ukrainian is still under contract with West Ham until the summer of 2022, by which time he will be nearly 33.

So if we are to receive a decent fee for Yarmolenko, we will most likely have to sell him either in January or next summer at the very latest.

It seems as though Yarmo’s next stop will not be Turkey, however. That’s what Ex thinks at least.
