Short odds on players joining Hammers
Bookmakers’ odds on novelty bets can sometimes be very wayward indeed and they are probably responding to widespread press speculation the Austrian is on his way to the London Stadium..
Arnautovic only signed a new four-year deal last summer with the Potters but that appears to mean very little in the betting shop world along with the fact that the Hammers are concentrated on striking options at the moment apparently almost exclusively.
Arnautovic is a 5/2 favourite to join us according to SkyBet but then bear in mind that they still have Joe Hart at 6/5 (not gonna happen) although they are now quoting Andre Gray at 7/4 – a bet CandH recommended when they had him chalked up at 5/2.
Jack Wilshere remains a crazy 4/6 to wear the claret and blue with Javier Hernandez coming in to the reckoning at a far too short 5/4.
