West Ham's season has been tumultuous at best so far.

The Hammers are pointless after four Premier League games, conceding 10 goals in the process and scoring just twice - Marko Arnautovic getting both.

Manuel Pellegrini's style of football is yet to yield any positive results, with the lack of both work-rate and quality noticed by disappointed supporters.

Their summer transfer window is also beginning to look like a bit of a disaster, with West Ham spending nearly £100m but showing no signs of improvement.

Jack Wilshere looks lost in midfield, Issa Diop and Fabian Balbuena are struggling at centre-back and Felipe Anderson is failing to justify his £33m price tag.

But the biggest worry is £18m forward Andriy Yarmolenko, who arrived from Borussia Dortmund after a single season in Germany.

He's yet to start a Premier League game, with his highlight being a 45-minute cameo against Wolves - a game they would lose 1-0 in injury-time.

And it seems the former Dynamo Kyiv star is not getting an easy time from the media back in his native Ukraine.

Hennadiy Orbu of the Expres wrote a scathing report on Yarmolenko, which kind of sums up the place West Ham currently find themselves in.

“Everything points to the fact that he will soon return to Dynamo Kyiv,” Orbu says, “and we will note the fiasco of his foreign career.

“It is unlikely that Yarmolenko will be able to make a bright career in the UK. Unfortunately, he does not even reach the level of West Ham, which is temporarily in the last place of the tournament table.

“The Londoners are sorry that they paid Borussia Dortmund as much as €20m.”

Ouch, that's hitting a footballer right where it hurts.

To say West Ham are 'sorry' for spending that kind of money on him is bad as it comes.

Although given the Hammers' start to the season, Pellegrini may look to give Yarmolenko more game time to freshen up his attack after the international break.
