OPINION
Goals and assists and bag-loads of them. That’s the reputation that Yarmolenko comes with and that’s what West Ham fans will be hoping to see him deliver at the London Stadium next season. Fans appear giddy with excitement at the news, with one saying that he’s in shock. Another summed up the mood succinctly when he posted a simple message saying he was a “superb signing”. We think he is too.
