Andriy Yarmolenko: Ukraine winger joins Al Ain on free transfer after leaving West Ham

Andriy Yarmolenko has joined Al Ain on a free transfer from West Ham United.

Yarmolenko joined the Hammers on a four-year deal from Borussia Dortmund in 2018 and went on to score 13 goals in 86 appearances for the club.

"Thanks to all you fans and people at West Ham for all your support throughout the whole time," he said on social media.

"It didn't work out," added Yarmolenko. "But there were many happy and pleasant moments, for which I am grateful to everyone who was with me and supported me."

After his home nation was invaded by Russia in February, Yarmolenko said he was "so emotional" when scoring in a 2-1 win over Aston Villa in March.
