Former Hammer praises Arnautovic sale

Former Hammer Ian Wright says Stoke City pulled off ‘unbelievable business’ to get £24million for Marko Arnautovic. “Genius to get £24million for Arnautovic, unbelievable business,” said Wright. “I think West Ham will find that out soon,” he added

The record club signing looks like a transfer dud so far, as he has yet to contribute a goal or an assist in his six Premier League appearances for West Ham and he was sent off against Southampton in West Ham’s second game of the season.

Last week Arnautivic told the Daily Mail:  “Expectation of me is high and I know people are not happy, I have apologised for the red card, it was stupid. And then I’ve been ill and I can’t change it.  So it’s not been great and I know that.  I hear people saying I came for £27million and have done nothing. I want to show the club they didn’t pay so much money for nothing.”
