Phil Thompson has heaped praise on West Ham United’s in-form man Andriy Yarmolenko for his early-season form, so is he considered to be a bargain yet?
The 29-year-old arrived joined the club for £17.5million from Borussia Dortmund last summer and is certainly starting to repay the fee.
Whilst working as a pundit on Soccer Saturday, Thompson spoke extremely highly of Yarmolenko, and more specifically his left foot.
This guy’s incredible. This guy’s got one of the best left pegs in European football. He is that good. And it’s not just that. It’s his assists in the game.
Read West Ham’s verdict
If Yarmolenko continues his level of performance to help West Ham achieve European qualification, he’ll have to be seen as a huge coup.
For top talent in the current market, you have to pay astronomical prices so to get a winger contributing to as many goals as he is for less than £20million is impressive.
Once Michail Antonio returns to full fitness, it’ll certainly be interesting to see who Manuel Pellegrini opts for on the right-wing.
If the Ukraine international is still lighting up the London Stadium by then though, it shouldn’t really be up for discussion because he’s been utterly brilliant.
