da esoccer bet: Crystal Palace are reportedly ‘on the trail’ of Marko Arnautovic with a view of wanting to sign him, according to Il Resto del Carlino (via Sport Witness).
da marjack bet: As per the news outlet, the South London club as well as West Ham United and Bologna are suitors for the Shanghai Port FC striker, who is looking to leave the Chinese Super League.
Crystal Palace should sign Arnautovic
Roy Hodgson’s men should certainly be looking to sign Arnautovic in the summer transfer window if possible.
Of course, his £280,000-per-week wages would be an issue, but if the Eagles are able to negotiate a much more reasonable salary for the Austria international, then it would just be a matter of a transfer fee to deal with.
Arnautovic has a vast amount of experience playing in the Premier League before with Stoke City and the Hammers, with whom he managed a total of no fewer than 80 goal contributions during his time in the top flight over six consecutive seasons (Transfermarkt).
With growing uncertainties over the futures of many players in the squad due to them all having a matter of a few months left on their current contracts at Selhurst Park, CPFC really need to start planning ahead, and they should look no further than making Arnautovic one of their first summer signings.
