# Marko Arnautovic

A £25 million summer signing, the failure of Marko Arnautovic to impose himself at the London Stadium is typical of West Ham’s woeful start to the campaign. The Hammers find themselves in the relegation zone and the Austria international has contributed almost nothing to their cause in the 10 matches he has played thus far.
Since the arrival of David Moyes at the club in November, the 28-year-old has seen his role in the team change. He has switched from his favoured position on the left onto a role on the right, though that has had a precious little impact.
Though former Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves has belittled the decision of Moyes to ask the Austrian to switch wings – “You’ve paid £25m for him, play him in his best position” – the Scot appears within his rights given how frustrating a figure the former Stoke man cut in his more natural role.
Gary Neville has already slammed the forward’s attitude this term, arguing that he “thinks he is better than he is”, and while that prompted an angry outburst from the player, targeting the former England defender’s poor coaching record, it has seen no revival of fortunes on the field.
West Ham are eyeing Paris Saint-Germain’s Hatem Ben Arfa for a January move, and that could spell the end for Arnautovic.
