Arnautovic speculation hot up
The possibility of the Hammers signing former ‘bad boy’ Marko Arnautovic appears to be hotting up.
Whether half the fan base actually want him back is something else but the rumour seems to again be getting legs.
David Moyes made it clear when asked at a resent press conference whether he was interested and responded by not giving a definite ‘no’ declaring hat he had enjoyed the challenge of managing the striker.
He added that whilst he wanted to build a new West Ham with a youthful edge it was a question that almost remained to be seen.
Our own inquiries have always left the impression that the possibility was always around inside the club.
And itk ExWHU employee claims he has now heard that it could happen as he’d heard the player s willing to take a significant pay cut.
According to the Mirror the 32 year old is on a £200k a week contract so significant is indeed the right word.
He’s a Marmite character among fans so watch this space.
