Arnautovic has been linked with a move away from West Ham in January.
Italian outlet CalcioMercato claim AS Roma want to sign West Ham United attacker Marko Arnautovic ahead of the January transfer window.
The 29-year-old has been in excellent form for West Ham this season, scoring five goals and creating two more in 14 league and cup assists for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
It has seen him linked with Premier League heavyweights Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as a move overseas. Now, Champions League semi-finalists Roma are interested in signing the Austrian.
Arnautovic was in action for the Hammers on Tuesday night, as they beat Cardiff City 3-1 to earn back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since January 2017. But Arnautovic was withdrawn in the first half with a hamstring injury.
A 77-time Austria international, Arnautovic has a contract at the London Stadium until the summer of 2022 and is adored by the Hammers faithful. He has scored 16 goals and created 10 more in 49 games.
But the report claims he is tempted with a return to Italy and could consider leaving West Ham, if Roma submit a concrete offer for the ex-Inter Milan, Werder Bremen and Stoke City attacker.
If the muscle problem is deemed a serious one, though, it may see Arnautovic forced to remain at West Ham throughout January as he will be unable to undergo a medical.
