West Ham attacker Marko Arnautovic is reportedly attracting interest in the summer transfer window.

According to the Sun, Serie A club Inter Milan may test the resolve for the Austria international.

It is understood that Inter boss Antonio Conte is a fan of the 30-year-old and the Hammers may be ready to negotiate his exit.

The report details that West Ham paid £24million for him in 2017 from Stoke City and they may now cash in on him for £30million.

Meanwhile, Italian club Roma are also credited with interest in the centre-forward and could rival Inter for him.

Inter previously had Arnautovic on loan during the 2009/10 season and a return to the San Siro is now on the cards by the looks of it.

TBR’s View:

Arnautovic’s exit may be the right thing to grant this summer and making a profit on him is good business.

He scored 11 goals in 30 games across all competitions this season and can lead the line well, but his form has been a little inconsistent and whether he is the right option going forward for Manuel Pellegrini’s side remains to be seen.

West Ham need to try break into Europe next season and a £30million windfall would surely help them go pursue a 20-goal striker option elsewhere.
