Recently, West Ham released some photos from Rush Green on their official website, and a familiar face was spotted in one of them.
Andriy Yarmolenko.
The 92-cap Ukraine international has been missing since the 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester United on February 9th, after suffering an injury.
Now, the £115,000-a-week forward is back in action at Rush Green, in what is excellent news for David Moyes.
Admittedly, the 31-year-old is far from a first-team regular in east London.
However, Yarmolenko has undoubted quality in the final third, and could be a secret weapon for the Hammers in their battle for a Champions League place.
You can see the photo of West Ham’s No.7 below.
The £17.5 million man has only started one Premier League game this season, after falling down the pecking order following the arrivals of Said Benrahma and Jesse Lingard.
Given the club’s excellent form of late, we feel it’s unlikely Moyes will be desperately trying to cram the former Borussia Dortmund man into his starting XI.
However, as aforesaid, he provides a deadly option from the bench.
If West Ham find themselves struggling to break an opponent down with time ticking away, Yarmolenko’s excellent long-range shooting ability could come in handy.
