West Ham are all over Marko Arnautovic "like a rash" but West Ham fans aren't getting their hopes up of sealing the transfer of the reported target.

The Austrian has slapped in a transfer request at Stoke City and the Hammers are piling on to try and bring him to the London Stadium in a deal that could cost upwards of £15m.

But, having missed out on Henry Onyekuru to Everton and Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho so far this summer, Hammers fans aren't holding their breath that the board can get this deal over the line.

West Ham have been bookies favourites to sign Arnautovic since the bookies opened a market at the back end of last week, with the Hammers at 5/2 to sign the 28-year-old winger/forward.

Arnautovic has impressed with Stoke since signing for them in 2013 and Everton were keen to make a move for him last summer but were put off by a £25m valuation from the Potteries.

With Sofiane Feghouli rumoured to be on his way out, Arnautovic could be a straight replacement for the Algerian and will provde competition to Robert Snodgrass for a starting spot.
