# West Ham considering third Arnautovic offer

West Ham are deciding whether or not to go in with a third offer for Stoke City winger Marko Arnautovic after their first two offers were knocked back.

According to [the Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-weighing-up-third-bid-for-marko-arnautovic-after-stoke-reject-20m-offer-a3586576.html), West Ham are considering whether it is worth making a third attempt to sign the winger, or move onto other targets.

The report claims that Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic could be an alternative if their move for Arnautovic fails.

The Hammers have had offers in the region of £15m and £20m turned down for Arnautovic so far.

The Austrian winger has handed in a transfer request to Stoke and is said to be keen on the move to West Ham.

This is despite recently signing a new contract with Stoke. His deal still has three years left to run, which puts Stoke in a strong negotiating position.

West Ham are also on the lookout for a striker, with Javier Hernandez, Andre Gray and Olivier Giroud on the list.
