Marko Arnautovic scored for West Ham United against Burnley in the Premier League this past weekend.

Michael Owen said on the BT Sport Score show on BT Sport 1 this past Saturday afternoon (4:44pm, November 3, 2018) that West Ham United star Marko Arnautovic is good enough to play for any club in the top six of the Premier League.

The former Liverpool and Manchester United striker made the comments towards the end of the Premier League game between West Ham and Burnley at the London Stadium this past Saturday.

The Hammers won 4-2, with Arnautovic scoring the opening goal in the 10th minute and having an overall great game.

Owen was impressed with the performance of the 29-year-old Austria international – who can operate as a forward or as a winger and has scored five goals and provided one assist in nine Premier League appearances for the Hammers so far this season, according to WhoScored – and believes that he is a Champions League player.

The former Real Madrid and England international striker was also impressed with the performance of West Ham youngster Declan Rice against Burnley.

Owen said on the BT Sport Score show on BT Sport 1 this past Saturday afternoon (4:44pm, November 3, 2018) about Arnautovic: “He is absolutely brilliant. He could play for a team in the top six. He is a Champions League player, in my opinion.”

The former Newcastle United striker added (4:52pm): “Rice has also been a standout player.”
