West Ham United should make sure that they sign Marko Arnautovic from Stoke City this summer.

West Ham United should not have to think twice about raising their bid for Stoke City’s Marko Arnautovic.

West Ham had their initial offer for Arnautovic rejected by Stoke according to BBC Sport, but they could still have a chance to snap up the Austrian.

According to Sky Sports, Arnautovic has put in a transfer request at Stoke, which plunges his future into further doubt.

And West Ham shouldn’t even think twice about forcing through a deal now.

Arnautovic would finally kick-start West Ham’s summer spending, and would show a signal of their ambition for the future.

The 28-year-old would offer West Ham power and creativity in forward areas, and significantly improve Slaven Bilic’s options in attack.

Hammers supporters have always taken well to maverick players, and Arnautovic could become a real fans’ favourite at the London Stadium, if he was to join.

And if Arnautovic really does want out of Stoke, then West Ham should make sure that they do everything in their power to convince the attacking midfielder to move to join Bilic’s side.
