# Yarmolenko’s desire to stay at West Ham could delight Hammers fans

Andriy Yarmolenko has [reiterated his desire](https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-sports/2907653-yarmolenko-ready-to-return-to-dynamo-kyiv.html) to stay at West Ham United and we feel that many Hammers fans could be delighted by his comments.

The Ukraine international has [missed a large chunk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrii-yarmolenko/leistungsdaten/spieler/69015) of the season because of injury but admitted he’s still ready to stay with the Hammers.

West Ham insider ExWHUemployee recently suggested on the [West Ham Way podcast (11/03/2020)](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/3-the-west-ham-way-podcast-11th-march-2020/id1500580072?i=1000468142259) that Yarmolenko could be sold this summer, but he shut down those rumours.

As quoted on [Ukrinform](https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-sports/2907653-yarmolenko-ready-to-return-to-dynamo-kyiv.html), the winger said:

> I feel fine at West Ham. I feel the support of fans. I like everything here.

> It’s not necessary to talk about the level of the English Premier League so, at present, I want to stay here.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

This could potentially please Hammers fans because of the quality that the winger possesses.

When fully fit, he is a handful, as he proved during the victory over Manchester United earlier this season, finding the back of the net and being named as the Man of the Match ([BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49705145)).

He was also a standout during the [away draw](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49778509) with Bournemouth, but his injury woes have halted his progress at the club.

Despite being [sidelined since December](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrii-yarmolenko/leistungsdaten/spieler/69015), we feel that it is great to hear that he still has the desire and hunger to succeed, but we do believe that getting into the team could be a problem for him.

January arrival Jarrod Bowen has occupied the right-wing spot and already seems to be a big [fan favourite](https://www.hammers.news/club-news/west-ham-fans-rave-about-jarrod-bowens-display-vs-southampton/), so having multiple quality options to choose from could be a good problem to have for David Moyes.
