David Moyes has told Football.London that West Ham United attacker Marko Arnautovic will not be allowed to slack off.

Arnautovic has become West Ham’s talisman in recent weeks, with Moyes getting the best out of the former Stoke City man.

Moyes deserves great praise for getting Arnautovic back to his best, by moving him to a more central striking position.

The Australian international has scored seven goals and claimed three assists in his last nine Premier League outings.

But it has not always gone so smoothly for Arnautovic, since his move to the London Stadium.

The 28-year-old struggled during his first few appearances for the Hammers, with his attitude coming into question.

And Moyes insists that he will not accept Arnatuovic dropping his work-rate again.

Moyes said. “He has got the footballing ability, self-belief and that is needed when you’re a forward. Arrogance too.

“If he doesn’t lose his focus and go back to the way he was, he could play for any team. Long may that continue. If I think he’s stepping back to what he was then I won’t be having any of it.”

Arnautovic looks set to play a key role for West Ham, as they look to avoid the drop this season.

The Hammers are currently in 12th place in the Premier League table, four points above the relegation zone.
