Marko Arnautovic: West Ham United changed my life in new interview
Marko Arnautovic has opened up in a tell-all interview, as shared by Gianluca Di Marzio, claiming a certain person at West Ham United changed his life.
The Austrian left West Ham United in emphatic fashion, choosing to move to China in a move evidently steered by the vast amounts of money in the Chinese Super League.
Nevertheless, the former Hammers poacher has confessed that David Moyes made all the difference during his time spent at West Ham United.
“The manager who changed my life was David Moyes at West Ham,” said Arnautovic as quoted by Gianluca Di Marzio.
Arnautovic doesn’t exactly make it clear how Moyes changed his life, but it seems the Scot certainly made an impression on the fearsome forward.
Background.
Arnautovic began his career with SV Josko Fenster Ried in Austria before moving to Dutch club Twente.
He then played for Werder Bremen in Germany, Stoke City and West Ham United in England before transferring to Shanghai SIPG in China in a move questioned by many.
The Austrian is known for his physical play and his ability to score goals from a variety of situations and was a fearsome forward during his time in the Premier League.
He now plays football in Italy, with Serie A side Bologna and is still gaining some interest from the Premier League, with rumours of a Manchester United move to surface last summer.
This move failed to transpire but highlighted how highly the Austrian is still thought of in Europe’s biggest league, something that is a testament to his time spent in England.
At 33 years old it seems another big move will unlikely happen for Arnautovic anytime soon.
