West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic is expected to stay at the London Stadium this summer, according to a report in the Evening Standard.
The Austrian is said to be of interest to Italian giants and former club Inter Milan, but that move looks unlikely with the Hammers keen to keep hold of the 30-year-old.
Arnautovic made three appearances for the ‘Nerazzurri’ in the 2009/10 campaign while on loan from Dutch side FC Twente.
Stories in recent weeks had suggested that the forward is keen on a return to the San Siro, despite only signing a contract extension with West Ham in January.
He signed that new deal to put an end to speculation over a switch to the Chinese Super League, after it was rumoured he wanted to leave the East London outfit in order to take up a big money offer from Shanghai SIPG.
It appears, though, that Manuel Pellegrini is planning for Arnautovic to be a part of his squad next season as he looks to better the tenth-place finish in 2018/19 and make a push for a Europa League spot.
Arnautovic joined West Ham from Stoke City for £20 million in July 2017, and has scored 22 goals in 65 games during his two-year stay.
