It’s been an up and down season for West Ham so far this year. At times it looks as though they could push towards the top eight but at others, it looks as though they may also slide towards the bottom end of the table.
Yesterday, Man City destroyed Manuel Pellegrini’s side 4-0 in a game where The Hammers didn’t really have a chance. West Ham currently sit 13th in the table, three points ahead of Newcastle in 14th – the two face each other next weekend.
Over the summer, West Ham were active in the transfer market and broke the club transfer record fee twice on Issa Diop and Felipe Anderson.
Anderson has been one of the best players at the club so far this season and in tandem with Marko Arnautovic, Pellegrini has a duo that can trouble any team.
According to The Sun, Man U are ready to bid £50 million for Arnautovic and if that is the case, Pellegrini must push through the deal as quickly as possible.
The Breakdown
On his day, Arnautovic is one of the best strikers in the league and has so far scored five goals in the league this season.
Losing him would be a huge blow for the side but it may also avoid some unneeded upheaval during the season. At this point in time, West Ham can ill afford to have a huge transfer saga derail their club and if Pellegrini is wise, he will sell the at times troublesome striker and reinvest it in a new signing in January.
