Ruslan Malinovsky can strengthen the composition of Andriy Yarmolenko’s former club.
Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Ruslan Malinovskyi, who plays for the Italian “Atalanta”, can move to the English championship in the winter transfer window.
According to TuttoAtalanta, West Ham is interested in the services of the famous Ukrainian football player. The London club is even ready to complete a full transfer right away.
It is noted that “Atalanta” wants to receive 7 million euros plus bonuses for the transfer of Malinovsky. The final cost is 15-18 million.
In case of successful negotiations between “Atalanta” and “West Ham”, Ruslan Malinovsky can become the third Ukrainian in the history of the London club.
Prior to that, Serhiy Rebrov and Andriy Yarmolenko played for the “Malotobijtsyv”. The last “West Ham” said goodbye in the summer of 2021. As part of the Hammersmiths, Andriy played 84 matches and scored 13 goals and 7 assists.
Let’s add that this season “West Ham” is in 16th place in the Premier League standings. Only one point separates them from the relegation zone.
In the Conference League, the club took first place in the group where they faced Anderlecht, Steaua and Silkeborg. “West Ham” will find out about their opponent after the 1/16 LC matches played, since after winning the group, they immediately got to the 1/8 finals.
In the current season, Ruslan Malinovsky played 14 matches for “Atalanta” in all tournaments, in which he scored one goal and provided two assists.
