Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic has ended his two-year association with West Ham United and left for Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai SIPG.
The former Stoke City star was keen on leaving the London Stadium in January after a bid from the CSL champions, but the Hammers blocked a move as manager Manuel Pellegrini wasn’t ready to lose such an important player midway through the campaign.
However, Arnautovic submitted another transfer request last week upon Shanghai’s return despite putting pen to paper for a contract extension in January.
West Ham decided they have had enough and have allowed him leave.
