West Ham United are said to be wanting to sign Marko Arnautovic from Stoke City this summer.

West Ham United fans are divided over whether Slaven Bilic should pay Stoke City’s asking price for Marko Arnautovic.

The Daily Mirror report that Stoke want £25 million for the Austrian international, who Bilic’s side are interested in snapping up.

And while some West Ham fans feel that is a fair price, others think Stoke are asking for too much money.

West Ham have had a frustrating transfer window so far, with David Gold, David Sullivan and Karen Brady all coming under pressure.

Hammers fans feel that the board need to show more ambition in the transfer market, to ensure that they get their first choice signings.

West Ham have brought in Pablo Zabaleta, but they have been frustrated in their search for forward options.

Arnautovic is understood to want a move away from Stoke, and has handed in a transfer request according to BBC Sport.

Arnautovic scored six goals and claimed five assists in the Premier League for the Potters last term.
