HAMMER MARK

WEST HAM have signed Marko Arnautovic for a club record fee of £24million from Stoke. The 28-year-old Austria international (above) said: “It feels special to me to be a West Ham player. Everyone knows that West Ham are a big club, with big history and I’m happy to be a part of it now.“ EVERTON are in the race to sign one of the best Swiss defenders – Grasshoppers’ Jan Bamert.

The £1.6million-rated Under-21 star is also wanted by Benfica, Villarreal, Torino and Rennes.

The centre-back, 19, made his Grasshoppers debut aged just 17 and has won rave reviews.
