Marko Arnautovic reportedly wants to leave West Ham United.
It has been reported that Arnautovic, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, wants to leave West Ham for Chinese Super League club Shanghai SiPG in the January transfer window.
The Hammers want £50m as transfer fee and are also interested in signing 26-year-old striker Callum Wilson from Premier League rivals Bournemouth this month, according to the report.
Smart plan
If Arnautovic wants to leave West Ham this month, then it will be sensible for the London club to let him leave, provided they get a sizeable transfer fee.
Given that the Hammers paid Stoke City £20m as transfer fee for the 29-year-old in the summer of 2017, as reported by BBC Sport, it is also smart of the Premier League outfit to reportedly hold out for £50m, as that will net them a profit of £30m.
Arnautovic is a very good player, but West Ham can still be successful without him in the team.
