Bellamy: 'West Ham may struggle to keep Arnautovic'

The 'Hammers' have made a miserable start to the Premier League season, currently sitting bottom of the table after losing all four of their opening games. 

Despite the poor start, the Austria international has been one of the few bright spots so far, scoring two goals from the club's first four Premier League matches

Former Cardiff and Manchester City Bellemy described Arnautovic as "volatile", and believes that he could want a move away from the London Stadium in January if things are not going his way.

"I've always been aware of his ability but if he had one good game then he'd go missing for the next three or four," the former Wales international said.

"When he was out wide if he had a lot of the ball then brilliant but then sometimes he'd lose interest. He frustrated because I knew there was a real player there but at times he would just look disinterested.

"Credit to David Moyes, he put him up top and he's involved in the game all the time. I've been so impressed with him up front. He's the one player for me at this present moment that West Ham do have with a bit of pace and do have as a threat.

"However, he's a volatile player as well. If it isn't going his way come January and West Ham are struggling, he's one player, if there is going to be interest, that's going to test you."
