Andriy Yarmolenko started the season off in fine form and was one of West Ham United’s most dangerous attacking outlets.
It’s been a downhill slope from there though and not only has he lost his place in the starting line-up, his status at the club could be at risk too.
According to Football Insider, Yarmolenko is set to be a high-profile casualty of Manuel Pellegrini’s squad overhaul next month.
The report claims West Ham are willing to listen to offers for his services in the January transfer window and could cash in on him.

The Hammers are even said to be willing to lose some of the £18million they paid Borussia Dortmund last year to get him off the wage bill.
That tells you all you need to know about where he stands in Pellegrini’s plans, which is a major surprise after the start to the campaign he made.
Whether West Ham will bolster the four main positions they want remains to be seen, but if Yarmolenko is sold the question must be asked whether they plan to bring in a winger too.
Nathan Holland is gradually becoming more of a regular in the first-team squad so this story could bode well for his development.
