Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham United side fought hard to keep Marko Arnautovic in the January transfer window.
West Ham United re-igniting their interest in Callum Wilson may just add further fuel to the fire that Marko Arnautovic could leave the London Stadium this summer.
That would be a shock move for the Hammers to take, but their recent links with Wilson are now very interesting.
West Ham were linked with Wilson in January, but on that occasion the Hammers’ desire to keep Arnautovic stopped them making a move.
“He’s a very good striker but the rumours we want him are not true,” Pellegrini said to Sky Sports.
“If we don’t have Arnautovic? Things can happen, when they happen we’ll see.”
Pellegrini’s comments suggesting that he would only move for Wilson if Arnautovic left are now very interesting.
And although it would still be a shock if West Ham let Arnautovic go, the latest links with Wilson may suggest it is at least a possibility.
