Marko Arnautovic will leave West Ham if he gets the chance, claims former Hammers star Dean Ashton
Marko Arnautovic will leave West Ham if a bigger club come calling for his signature, believes former Hammers striker Dean Ashton.Austria international Arnautovic has proven a huge hit at the London Stadium since his 20million arrival from Stoke City last summer.3

Marko Arnautovic has scored 16 goals in 46 games for West Ham

The 29-year-old endured a slow start with the Hammers but is now adored by supporters for his match-winning displays but his brilliant performances have made him a target for rival clubs.Recent reports claim West Ham could face a battle to keep their star man and the forward kept quiet on his future at the club when quizzed following Austria’s 2-1 win over Northern Ireland on Sunday.3

Arnautovic was linked with a switch to Manchester United in the summer transfer window, and Ashton believes the forward will look to leave the Hammers if another ‘big club’ shows an interest.But the former striker has urged the club to keep hold of the forward in January, and instead wait to sell him for big money in the next summer window.Speaking on Mondays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Ashton said: When Arnautovic came to West Ham he was awful to start with, but David Moyes really got the best out of him and got him working extremely hard as that lone striker.Ive been majorly impressed with him. Hes got way more power and pace than I thought and hes a much better finisher than I thought he was at Stoke.He has got the ability to go to the next level and it wouldnt surprise me if he wanted to do that.As a player youve got one chance and youve got to be selfish at times.3

Marko Arnautovic was a club record signing for West Ham in 2017 when he joined from Stoke for 20m

I wouldnt be necessarily be looking at the fact he puts the irons arms to the fans and pumps his chest, I dont think that means anything to be honest.I think if he gets the chance hell be off to, what he will class as, a bigger club.But not in January, I think West Ham have got to keep him this season because hes so important to them.Keep him until the summer and then look at getting a good price for him.Listen back to Dean Ashton on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
