West Ham manager David Moyes has refused to rule out the possibility of bringing Marko Arnautovic back to the London Stadium this summer.

The Hammers are expected to enter the market for at least one striker after Sebastien Haller left the club in January.

Moyes recently ruled out a £40million move for Chelsea frontman Tammy Abraham and a report from Eurosport has since claimed the Irons could have a summer budget around the £35million mark.

Ahead of a crucial clash with Brighton on Saturday in the race for Europe next season, Moyes was asked whether there was a chance Arnautovic could return to east London, as cited by West Ham Central on Twitter.

The 32-year-old remains in China plying his trade for Shanghai Port – albeit reports have suggested the 87-cap Austrian is looking to move on.

This season Arnautovic has scored three goals in just four matches, earning an average Sofascore rating of 7.38 along the way.

Links with this sensational return simply refuse to go away.

Despite enjoying a stellar time with the Irons, scoring 22 goals in 65 outings, the way in which the Austrian ended his time at the club still leaves a bad taste.

West Ham certainly need a striker this summer, however, a controversial move for a 32-year-old is surely far from the ideal option.
