West Ham must let 'problem' Arnautovic go, says Wright

An unnamed Chinese club have made a reported £35m bid for West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic and Ian Wright believes the player must be allowed to leave.

The Hammers issued a statement last week declaring the Austrian isn't for sale, only for Arnautovic's brother and agent to insist the player wants to move.

Despite the transfer speculation, the 29-year-old striker started against Arsenal on Saturday as West Ham claimed a surprise 1-0 win.

As he departed the match, though, Arnautovic was seen clapping to and thanking West Ham's supporters on his way off of the field.
