Arnautovic gives hint on West Ham future
The four words follow Manuel Pellegrini telling reporters post-match “I am absolutely convinced next season we will see a great Marko.”
West Ham rejected a £31.5m bid from China for the 31-year-old in the winter while giving him a one-year contract extension, raising his basic wage to £125,000 per week and giving him a and £45m release clause for the summer by a set date.
Marko’s brace of goals yesterday brings his total to double figures with ten goals to his name plus a further three for Austria in his international appearances.
Club insiders are convinced Marko Arnautovic will stay a Hammer after the summer transfer window and a £45m bid from China or elsewhere is unlikely to materialise.
His wife Sarah and his two daughters are said to be happy and settled in London.
