Arnautovic hands in transfer request

Marko Arnautovic has handed in a transfer request at West Ham.

The Austrian was reportedly keen on a move away from the London Stadium in the January transfer window amid interest from the Chinese Super League, but appeared to commit his future to the club by signing a four-year contract extension.

However, according to Sky Sports, Arnautovic has submitted a transfer request to the Hammers after the club received another offer from an unnamed Chinese side for the striker.

West Ham rejected bids of £35million for the Austria international in January, with Sky Sports believing Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG were the sides pursuing a move for Arnautovic at the start of the year. 

The 30-year-old is reportedly adamant on a move away from London Stadium this summer, as his two year spell with West Ham looks set to come to an end. 

Arnautovic joined the Hammers in 2017 in similar circumstances, after handing in a transfer request at Stoke City to force a £25million move to West Ham.
