Ryan Mason has offered his thoughts on West Ham United forward Marko Arnautovic and Everton playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Ryan Mason has claimed that West Ham and Everton stars Marko Arnautovic and Gylfi Sigurdsson could play for a top-six Premier League club.
Both attack-minded players are currently plying their trade at the London Stadium and Goodison Park, with both their teams chasing European football this term.
Former Tottenham midfielder Mason offered his thoughts on the duo as he explained what he likes about Arnautovic the most.
“Arnautovic, and probably Gylfi Sigurdsson outside of the top six, they are the two players I look at and say, they can play in a top six side, comfortably,” Mason told The Final Word on talkSPORT on 20/01/19 at 6:50 pm
“I think Arnautovic on his day is a world beater and as a number nine at West Ham since he has been asked to play that role, he has been fantastic.”
Out of the two players, only Sigurdsson has played for a top six Premier League side when he represented Tottenham between 2012-14.
Arnautovic, however, has played Champions League football during his career, albeit as a backup player, when he was at Inter over nine years ago.
Over the course of this campaign, the Austria international has played 18 games in all competitions for Manuel Pellegrini’s side scoring eight goals and supplying three assists for his teammates.
By contrast, Sigurdsson, who plays in behind the striker at Everton, has played 24 matches in all competitions, finding the back of the net on nine occasions and providing three assists.
When both teams played each other earlier on in the season, the Hammers secured an impressive 3-1 win at Goodison Park, with both Arnautovic and Sigurdsson getting on the scoresheet for their respective sides.
