The Stoke City forward could be a useful addition to the Leicester City squad this summer.
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed the Foxes as outsiders in the race to sign Potters forward Marko Arnautovic.
The Austrian has been a consistent performer for Stoke, since joining the club from Werder Bremen in September 2013, for the minuscule fee of just £2 million.
The 28-year-old has bags of talent, and possesses the ability to change a game in an instant with a little bit of magic.
Stoke City’s Marko Arnautovic
In 145 appearances for the Potters, he has scored 26 goals and chipped in with 32 assists, which is a commendable return considering his team have finished in and around mid-table for the duration of his time with the club.
SkyBET believe that he could be plying his trade away from the BET365 Stadium next term, however, making Wolfsburg 6/1 favourites to sign him.
Somewhat surprisingly though, the bookies think Leicester have a chance of obtaining his signature, and make Craig Shakespeare’s men 8/1 outsiders in the race.
Arnautovic would be an extremely useful signing for the Foxes, and his ability to play anywhere along the front-line would surely prove to be a huge asset to Shakespeare’s side during what will be a long and physically punishing campaign.
He does still have three years remaining on his current deal with Stoke, however, so he will not come cheap, but if the east Midlanders manage to prise him away from the Potters, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance.
