West Ham forward Andriy Yarmolenko is reportedly ‘on the verge’ of leaving the London Stadium in the January transfer window.
Serie A side Genoa are believed to be in pursuit of the 32-year-old Ukrainian international as a three-year spell in East London seemingly approaches the end.
Yarmolenko has been pushed into a further bit-part role this season under David Moyes and could be looking for regular match action.
That’s according to a report from Pianetagenoa1893, as cited by RumorsTransfersNews24/7 on Twitter.
According to a report from Pianeta Genoa, Andriy Yarmolenko could be on the verge of a January exit from West Ham.

The report claims that legendary compatriot and manager in Genoa Andriy Shevchenko wants to bring the 106-cap ace to Italy and has held ‘positive’ talks.
So far this term Yarmolenko has scored once and provided three assists in 15 fleeting appearances across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Out of contract at the end of the season and unlikely to be offered a new deal to stay at the London Stadium, cashing in on the £3.6million valued ace would be a smart move from the club.
Despite boasting a superb career to date, Yarmolenko is unlikely to force his way back into Moyes’ plans anytime soon.
Instead, the Irons should be looking to use any incoming funds to strengthen elsewhere in the squad.
