West Ham Agree to Sell Marko Arnautovic for £22m Despite Calling it a 'Terrible Deal'

West Ham have agreed to sell Marko Arnautovic to Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG in a £22.4m deal, despite admitting 'it's a terrible deal for us'.

Arnautovic joined the Hammers from Stoke City for around £25m back in July 2017, and he's since gone on to make 65 appearances for the club across competitions, providing 22 goals and 22 assists.

However, his dissatisfaction has always been bubbling barely beneath the surface at the London Stadium, and he handed in a transfer request in January in the hopes of securing a big-money move to China, which failed to come to pass.
