England may have dumped Ukraine out of Euro 2020 with a stunning 4-0 win, but West Ham United target Roman Yaremchuk certainly caused plenty of problems.

Harry Kane’s early goal set England on their way, with Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson adding second half goals either side of Kane’s second.

England are through to the semi-finals and will face Denmark at Wembley for a place in the final, with Ukraine simply blown away.

West Ham target Yaremchuk causes problems

West Ham fans saw Declan Rice turn in another impressive display in midfield, but they may have also been looking at Ukraine striker Roman Yaremchuk.

The Express reported last month that West Ham were looking to raid Belgian side Gent for Yaremchuk, who hit 23 goals in all competitions last season.

The 25-year-old has caused problems at Euro 2020, and that was the same against England as he forced Jordan Pickford into one smart save and battled away against John Stones and Harry Maguire in the first half.

Sturridge impressed

Ex-England and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge took to Twitter to react to Yaremchuk’s first-half showing, and he was clearly impressed.

Sturridge tweeted that Yaremchuk ‘is a problem’, praising his ‘very tidy’ style of play whilst leading the line with West Ham ace Andriy Yarmolenko.

West Ham were surely watching this display, and few could blame them for wanting to strike a deal for him now his Euro 2020 is over.
