Marko Arnautovic: West Ham star ready to leave club as agent says forward needs to play for a ‘top team’
West Ham are facing a big battle to keep hold of their star man Marko Arnautovic.The Austrian forward has admitted he is keen to play at the highest level possible while his brother and agent,Danijel, has suggested he could push for a transfer as soon as January.2A 20million signing from Stoke in 2017,Arnautovic madea slow start to his Hammers career buthas become a firm fans’ favourite at the London Stadium.He scored 11 goals and claimed six assists last season to help keep the club in the Premier League and, this term, has netted five goals in 10 appearances.He is integral to Manuel Pellegrini’s team but, as he approaches 30, the former Inter Milan forward is eyeing another shot at Champions League football before his career is over.Im 29, so thats the best age, he told the Austrian newspaper Kurier. Its clear that I want to compete with the best players. But in this affair I totally trust my brother.Danijel Arnautovic, who acts as his representative, added: Hes already playing in the Premier League and thats where the best players are. But for a player like Marko this cannot be the end.Hes a big part of West Hams team but I think its possible to tease out more of him. For that to happen, he has to play for a top team.2Marko is ready for the next step. A player like him should not play against relegation. He should play for the international spots.Marko is really enjoying playing for West Ham. He loves that club and the fans. But there is still that feeling, that this cannot be the end. And everybody should understand that.Arnautovic was linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window. Asked if it is possible Arnautovic could be on the move soon, his brother added:Thats possible.“It was already very, very close this last summer.There were two Champions League clubs. I cannot reveal more. So there are options. And we are probing.

West Ham United 1-0 Arsenal: Declan Rice downs Gunners to fire Hammers up to eighth in Premier League
Declan Rice scored the only goal of the game as West Ham beat Arsenal 1-0 at the London Stadium on Saturday.The three points moved the Hammers up to eighth in the Premier League, temporarily, until the rest of the weekend’s games were played.4Marko Arnautovic was in the West Ham side despite having his head turned by the Chinese, but in the end it was Rice who delivered.The pre-match speculation centred around whether Arnautovic, the subject of a mega-money bid from the Chinese Super League, would feature for the Hammers.In the end boss Manuel Pellegrini stuck by the Austrian, despite his brother and agent claiming this week that he wanted to leave.But it was a player conspicuous by his absence on the Arsenal team sheet, Ozil, which raised eyebrows.4The club’s highest-paid player is fit having trained all week, but still could not even make the substitutes’ bench, the clearest indication yet that he is not part of manager Unai Emery’s long-term plans.It seemed a match tailor-made for the German playmaker, with West Ham inviting Arsenal to attack at their leisure during the first half, making the snub all the more surprising.Nevertheless, Arsenal began with purpose and Alexandre Lacazette curled an early shot wide before heading narrowly over from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s cross.Then Lacazette was played in by Alex Iwobi, but his close-range shot was straight at Lukasz Fabianski, the striker hooking the rebound over the crossbar.4Rice crucially intercepted Sead Kolasinac’s dangerous low cross with Lacazette waiting to pounce, and Matteo Guendouzi fired wide from the edge of the box.But West Ham were having their moments, too, with Felipe Anderson sending a curler just off target and Samir Nasri playing a neat one-two with Arnautovic in the area before firing into the side-netting. Nasri, making his Premier League debut for the Hammers against his former club, teed up Anderson 18 yards out, but the Brazilian drilled a low shot across goal and narrowly wide.Shortly before the break Rice headed Anderson’s corner the wrong side of the far post, but he did not have to wait long to open his account.Three minutes after the interval Anderson raided down the right and, when Granit Xhaka made a mess of clearing his cross, Nasri tapped the ball to Rice, who gleefully hooked it home.Emery made a double substitution, sending on Aaron Ramsey and Lucas Torreira, in a bid to retrieve the situation.4But Aubameyang sent an angled drive high and wide, Iwobi’s shot beat Fabianski and the far post and an offside flag denied Laurent Koscielny a stoppage-time equaliser to cap a frustrating afternoon for the visitors.

Jadon Sancho and Gareth Bale to Manchester United? ‘Sign them BOTH! Rio Ferdinand tells talkSPORT
Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United can afford to complete the sensational double signing of Jadon Sancho AND Gareth Bale in the summer.Both wingers have been linked with moves to Old Trafford in recent months.After his brilliant breakthrough in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, Sancho has been tipped to return to his homeland and become the first 100million Englishman, with United reportedly leading the chase.2Meanwhile, Bale has also been linked with a move back to the Premier League after falling out of favour with Real Madrid fans, who booed the Welsh superstar during Saturdays 1-0 El Clasico defeat to Barcelona.Bales agent, Jonathan Barnett, has hinted the disgraceful treatment of his client could see him leave, as he branded the Bernabeu boo boys ‘disgusting’ in an extraordinary on talkSPORT.And Ferdinand believes United should look to bring both players to Old Trafford this summer.Speaking on Tuesdays Sports Breakfast, the former defender said: Sancho or Bale? Id take both! Manchester United can afford both.Theyre different players, you cant compare them. One is at the beginning of his career and one is at the other end of his career.Sancho has huge potential, he can be anything he wants to be.2And Gareth Bale, if youre talking about having great moments in current football, big goals on big occasions, hes up there in that sense.If I was someone at Real Madrid Id think about the trophies weve won while hes been there and Id be delighted.If I was someone looking for a player right now and hes available, Id take Gareth Bale if the price is right. But its down to Gareth isnt it.If hes got a desire to leave now, hes a bit disgruntled, the fans arent having him as much as he thought and he wants to get out of there, a deal can be made somewhere else, Im sure.Listen back to Rio Ferdinand on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above
