Marko Arnautovic finding his form again key to a strong finish from West Ham

For West Ham to finish the season strongly, it would help to have Marko Arnautovic back to the kind of form seen before his January flirtations with a Chinese club.

Since that move was repelled and the forward signed a new contract, injury and illness have got in the way.

But after scoring a couple for Austria against Israel on Sunday, he should be in a better frame of mind.

I see the Hammers have been linked with West Brom’s Salomon Rondon, on loan at Newcastle.

Perhaps that will give Arnautovic a shove.
