DARK SECRETS: Andriy yarmolenko provides gifts for refugees after final home game as west ham player | Vintage Vibes

Andriy Yarmolenko provided gifts to Ukrainian refugee children in his final act at London Stadium as a West Ham United player.

The 32-year-old, who will not have his contract renewed in East London, was filmed bringing bags containing presents to children at an entrance to the stadium following yesterday afternoon's 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Among the children was a six-year-old boy currently staying in the home of transport secretary Grant Shapps, who posted a message on Twitter thanking Yarmolenko for his gesture. "Thanks @Yarmolenko_7 - that was incredibly kind of you and he was super excited to meet you :-)," Shapps wrote. "@WestHam gained a new fan today!!!"
