The Austria international has left West Ham United.
West Ham United’s Felipe Anderson has made his feelings for Marko Arnautovic perfectly clear.
The Austria international has signed for Chinese side Shanghai SIPG in a £22.4 million deal.
In doing so, Arnautovic, who tried his best to leave West Ham in January after handing in a transfer request, has forever burned his bridges with the Irons’ fanbase.
But it looks like the 30-year-old has retained the respect and admiration of his old team-mates – well, at least one.
Anderson, a much-loved figure among West Ham supporters, sent Arnautovic a heartfelt message on Instagram. It read: “It was a pleasure to play with you, Craque. God bless your future.”
No West Ham fans will mourn the loss of the former Stoke City attacker after this, but it’s worth remembering that he was a big player for Manuel Pellegrini’s side and replace him they must.
There are a number of exciting transfers in the pipeline, including for Maxi Gomez and Salomon Rondon, but as things stand Pellegrini isn’t favourite to land either target.
