And it is believed an unnamed Chinese side has made an offer to West Ham for the 30-year-old who has allegedly told the Hammers he is determined to leave east London during this summer’s transfer window.
Arnautovic joined West Ham from Stoke two years ago for £25m and has scored 22 goals in 65 appearances.
ClaretandHugh says: It shouldn’t of course but to many this will comes as a surprise given the way the irksome Arnautovic chose to behave in the winter, seemingly at the behest of his brother Danijel. Our own inquiries are being met with a silence which may be deafening in the circumstances although frankly if the Irons have had a big offer from the Orient they would surely be wrong to ignore it given the player is now in his 31st year and in normal circumstances would have very little sell on value. The cash would allow the Hammers to go full tilt for Maxi Gomez plus at least one other as last year’s strike force is given a total overhaul. Frankly we can all do without another month of nonsense from the Austrian mercenary and his troublesome sibling. The dressing room would probably become a better place immediately. Enough is enough, time to get rid|
