Marko Arnautovic is looking for a new challenge and as such, he is ready to leave West Ham.
Arnautovic told the Austrian newspaper Kurier, as cited by the Independent, that at his age, he wants to play at the highest possible level but that he’ll leave any transfer related issues to his agent and brother, Danijel.
I’m 29, so that’s the best age. It’s clear that I want to compete with the best players. But in this affair, I totally trust my brother.
Speaking to the same publication, Danijel said that his brother has had a great time at West Ham and that he is happy there, but he wants to be playing a side competing to win major titles.
He’s already playing in the Premier League and that’s where the best players are. But for a player like Marko this cannot be the end. He’s a big part of West Ham’s team but I think it’s possible to tease out more of him. For that to happen, he has to play for a top team. Marko is ready for the next step. A player like him should not play against relegation. He should play for the international spots. Marko is really enjoying playing for West Ham. He loves that club and the fans. But there is still that feeling, that this cannot be the end. And everybody should understand that.
Manchester United were linked with a move for the Austrian star in the summer, with Jose Mourinho known to be a huge fan of his and if Arnautovic does push for a transfer, the Old Trafford-based side are very likely to make a move for him.
