Marko Arnautovic has passed a medical ahead of a proposed move to Shanghai SIPG from West Ham after a 25 million euro (£22.4m) deal was agreed.
Sky Sports News reported on Wednesday that West Ham were willing to accept a "terrible deal" for Arnautovic because everyone "wants him out".
The east London club were running out of patience after comments made by his brother claiming they are "using" him, but it seems as though the Austrian will be heading to China permanently, providing personal terms can be agreed.
The 30-year-old registered 21 goals in 59 Premier League matches for the Hammers in his two seasons at the club and established himself as a fans favourite before asking to leave for the Chinese Super League in January.

Arnautovic should have been playing top level not China in 2009 Arnautovic failed his Chelsea medical and instead joined Inter Milan on loan

This guy has a lot of potential to play at the highest level but he just wants to ruin his career.

All I can say is good riddance to him, since January when Arnie was first linked with China he hasn’t been the same player he once was! He thinks he is the almighty Zlatan now that’s a talented player Arnie On the other hand is when he wants to be 🤷🏽♂️ good luck in China 👌🏽

The man has excellent talent but an even bigger view of his own self importance. Doing to West Ham what he did to Stoke - roll on China

Seems to me like he’s realized he’s hit 30 and needs to be earning 300k a week for when he retires.. it’s a short career I suppose, however I’d sooner the player just come out and say it

2 things: 1. Such a waste of talent. This kid is capable of taking West Ham very far. 2. Football is a very short career; most players don't have a lot of options after they retire. Ages 25-35 are core earning year, which essentially they have to live on the rest of their lives.

Marko Arnautovic vs Salomon Rondon in the Premier League last season - Matches: 28 - 32. Goals: 10 - 11. Assists: 4 - 7. Given the fact Rondon played in a team with a significantly weaker attack, it’s definately not a downgrade.

Nolan on Arnautovic: “From what I’ve heard of him, in the dressing room when it’s not going his way he shows it and lets everyone know...I think West Ham are doing the best thing ever in getting him out of the club, moving on and getting the money for him.”

Why so little? He signed a contract in January, and he’s the starting striker for a Premier League club. Im not expecting a crazy figure, just a little bit more than this
