Ian Wright says West Ham should part ways with Marko Arnautovic

Marko Arnautovic is the subject of a £35 million bid from an unnamed Chinese club and Ian Wright believes that West Ham should part ways with the Austrian international before he creates any further problems.

West Ham issued a statement that they were not willing to sell the 29-year-old midway through the season, only for his agent and brother to criticise the club in an attempt to force the transfer.

Arnautovic started in the 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday amidst all the speculations and the Austrian appeared to wave a final goodbye to the fans before being substituted towards the end of the game.

“You could see the way he came off the pitch on Saturday, he’s gone, he wants to go and I would let him go because I think West Ham have got something going,” Wright told BBC Radio 5 live’s Monday Night Club.

“You look at his pattern and it always seems to be a little bit abrasive when he’s leaving. When it’s to go, it’s just bang, out. Abrasive.

“I think he’ll be a problem [if he stays] and I think that’s what’s happened at Stoke. I think he’s been a problem most of the places he’s been.

“He wants to go – I’d let him go.”

With wages of £200,000 a week reportedly on offer in China, former Premier League striker Chris Sutton was critical of Arnautovic’s desire to leave West Ham.

“How much money does he actually need?” Sutton said.

“I rate him so highly as a player but it’s just greed isn’t it?”

With all the speculations regarding the Austrian’s future, it remains to be seen whether he lands up in China or plays against Bournemouth at the end of this week.
