Supporters want to Marko to stay

The majority of  West Ham supporters want Marko Arnautovic to stay after the summer with nearly 74% of almost 1,500 saying they want him to remain a Hammer. Just over 26% of Claret and Hugh readers believe the club should sell Arnie this summer to draw a line under his West Ham career.

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 £45m release clause for the summer by a set date.

Arnautovic has heavily hinted he will remain a Hammer next season with a simple message on social media after the Southampton victory which read “We go next season.”

Those four words follow Manuel Pellegrini telling reporters post-match “I am absolutely convinced next season we will see a great Marko.
