The ex-West Ham United player is still annoying some Hammers fans.

Marko Arnautovic is already getting cosy at new club Shanghai SIPG following his West Ham United exit.

The Austria international annoyed West Ham and their legion of fans earlier this summer by handing in a transfer request – his second in 2019.

This time it was successful and the 30-year-old earned a mega-money deal to join the Chinese outfit.

On Sunday, he opened his account for Shanghai on his Super League debut with a header, before quickly tapping the badge on his shirt in celebration.

And suffice to say West Ham fans haven’t reacted well to that gesture:

Arnautovic was a big player for the Irons, netting 21 Premier League goals during his two seasons in East London.

But Manuel Pellegrini has a certain Sebastien Haller now and, given his ability, it wouldn’t be a major surprise if he exceeded Arnautovic’s total in just the one season at West Ham.
