Matt Le Tissier warned West Ham United to expect interest in Marko Arnautovic during one of the upcoming windows.
Matt Le Tissier has told Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday (01/12 from 17:15) that West Ham need to expect interest in Marko Arnautovic in a future window, with the pundit full of praise for the forward’s performance in the Hammers’ win at Newcastle.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men got back on track with a stunning 3-0 win at St James’ Park. Oddly given how influential he has been in the last 12 months, Arnautovic did not score any of their goals.
He provide an assist for Javier Hernandez and certainly caused Newcastle’s defence all sorts of problems as the Irons took the three points. And Le Tissier insisted that he was hugely impressed with what he saw from the 29-year-old.
“I’d be surprised if one of the big boys didn’t try and nick him, maybe not in January but at the end of the season. I just think he’s good enough playing [at that level]. Chelsea are looking for a centre forward.”
It is probably not a surprise that Arnautovic sits at the top of the goalscoring charts and assists table – alongside Felipe Anderson and Mark Noble respectively – so losing him would be a massive blow for the Irons.
But with players such as Anderson and Hernandez starting to find some form, it appears that the trio could potentially form a formidable partnership that provides plenty of excitement while the three men remain at the London Stadium.
