that winger Andriy Yarmolenko could be sold by West Ham, ✨if the Ukraine star is not careful.

Yarmolenko, 32, has managed just ꦕ33 minutes of Premier League action this season – spread across seven substitute appearances. He is struggling.

The likes of Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals and ♔Sജaid Benrahma are first choice. Summer signing Nikola Vlasic is first reserve for those players.

Manue Lanzini is al♐so an option. Yarmolenko has been invol♕ved in all of his side’s Premier League games this term, but was missing on Sunday.

The attacker is said to have haꦯd ꧅a knock, picked up before the 2-2 draw over KRC Genk in the Europa League. Hutchison took aim at Yarmolenko.

He thinks the Hammers attacker could 💙follow Felipe Anderson and Seb Haller out of the door – praising Moyes for getting rid of the right players.

“The job he has done in the windows is incr๊edibl♎e – players he has bought, but recognising the players that are not good enough.

“Seb Haller who didn’t put a shift in, Felipe Anderson. Yarmolenko might be the nಌext one gone if he is not careful,” Hutchison said.

Hutchison on Yarmolenko: Could £17.5million West Ham star go?

Yarmolenko is a top player. For Ukraine in Euro 2020, he was sensational – having a hand in four goals in five games as 𒈔Ukraine reached the last eight.

But he is out of contract at the end of the season, and is one of the club’s biggest earners. 🌜In January, West Ham need to sell him to get some ꦬcash.

A new dꦗeal is almost impossible – with both parties 𒁃unlikely to entertain extending his current contract. January is the last chance for some money.

So, regardless of his work rate, or Moyes getting rid of players who are not working hard – ultimately, he will be leavin🧔g in January or next summer.
