Hammers hope to land top Marko

- BY DARREN LEWIS

WEST HAM are set to move for Marko Arnautovic after the Austria winger stunned Stoke with a transfer request.

Arnautovic, 28, was handed a pay rise as part of a lucrative new deal to keep him with the Potters until 2020 last summer.

It came after he had become unsettled at the club’s inability to challenge higher up the table.

But he is now thought to have similar concerns.

Stoke, on tour in Switzerlan­d, believe he is aware of interest from elsewhere and will push for a big fee if he is sold.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic wants proven Premier League performers and Everton and AC Milan are also admirers.
