West Ham United will face Southampton at the London Stadium in the Premier League this afternoon.
West Ham are not having a great time at the moment, and Arnautovic, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, is struggling.
The Austria international, who earns £100,000 per week as salary according to Spotrac.com, has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 20 Premier League starts for the Hammers so far this season.
Former Arsenal and West Ham striker Wright believes that Arnautovic is frustrated at the moment.
Wright told The Sun: “If Marko Arnautovic is on form then David Moyes’ side will have half a chance but unfortunately he seems to have been deserted by his form of late.
“He hasn’t scored or assisted in the last three games and you can see frustration creeping into his game.
“Marko seems to be a confidence player and when things don’t go his way he can lash out and he looks like a bear with a sore head at times.
“If you’re an opponent you can bide your time, wind him up and wait knowing there’s a good chance you can put him off his game.”
Need for win
West Ham will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Southampton at the London Stadium in the Premier League.
With the Saints also in genuine danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season, the Hammers need to pick up all three points from the encounter.
Arnautovic needs to step up his game, not only for the match against Southampton, but also for the rest of the season in order for the Hammers to avoid the dreaded drop to the Championship.
