Stan Collymore Slams West Ham Star for Setting a Bad Example for His Teammates During Losing Streak

Former Liverpool star Stan Collymore has criticised West Ham talisman Marko Arnautovic, claiming that the Austrian does not set an example that his teammates would want to follow.

The 29-year-old has emerged as the Hammers' main man since his £24m arrival from Stoke last summer. The Austria international scored 13 goals and recorded eight assists last season to help preserve the Irons' Premier League status, but Collymore still isn't happy with his attitude.
