Andriy Mykolayovych Yarmolenko (Template:Lang-uk; born 23 October 1989) is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Premier League club West Ham United and the Ukraine national team.
Yarmolenko has been a full international for Ukraine since 2009, scoring 38 goals in 88 matches and playing at UEFA Euro 2012 and Euro 2016.
Early life
Yarmolenko's parents, native Ukrainians, were originally from Smolianka village, Kulykivka Raion, Chernihiv Oblast. After their marriage, Valentyna and Mykola Yarmolenko moved to Leningrad (currently Saint Petersburg) where Andriy was born in 1989. In three years time (after the collapse of the Soviet Union), the family moved back to their native land and settled in the city of Chernihiv.[4]
His mother recollected that Andriy began to play with the ball from the age of 4-5 years. "In the beginning he did not even have a proper ball, so had to play with a self-made one. We were poor and real football was a luxury in those times".[5] Yarmolenko was noticed by Mykola Lypoviy who invited him to football school (Youth Sports School "Yunist" in Chernihiv) and became his first coach.
Club career
Early career
Yarmolenko is a graduate of the Chernihiv Youth Sports School "Yunist". He joined the Dynamo Kyiv Youth Academy at age of 13. However, he returned to Chernihiv after a year being unable to meet physical requirements in training.[4] Before his move to FC Dynamo Kyiv in 2007, he played for Yunist Chernihiv, Desna Chernihiv, Lokomotyv Kyiv, Vidradnyi Kyiv and again Yunist Chernihiv
Desna Chernihiv
In the summer 2006, from Yunist Chernihiv, he joined to Desna Chernihiv, the main club in Chernihiv, uder the coach Oleksandr Tomakh. Here he played in the season 2006–07 in Ukrainian First League, where he made 9 caps and 4 goal scored.[6][7]
FC Dynamo 2 Kyiv
In 2007, Yarmolenko signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv, where he joined its second team, Dynamo-2, which plays in lower leagues, for a couple of seasons. The talented youngster was praised as the "new Sheva" by journalists, who noted his qualities of good physique, shot and especially his speed. The then vice-president of Dynamo, Yozhef Sabo, also praised the youngster, saying, "Yarmolenko has all the makings to become a top-level player."[8][9]
Dynamo Kyiv
In December 2006, Yarmolenko signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv, where he joined its second team, Dynamo-2, which plays in lower leagues, for a couple of seasons. The talented youngster was praised as the "new Sheva" by journalists, who noted his qualities of good physique, shot and especially his speed. The then vice-president of Dynamo, Yozhef Sabo, also praised the youngster, saying, "Yarmolenko has all the makings to become a top-level player."[8][9]
