Stoke City have reportedly named the price for winger Marko Arnautovic: £22.5 million. West Ham had seen two bids, of £15m and £20m turned down, and they will return with a third to meet Stoke's asking price.
Arnautovic has become frustrated with the situation, handing in a transfer request at his current club. The Austrian wants to move to the East London club to link up with boss Slaven Bilic.
The winger joined Stoke in 2013 for £2 million, and after 26 goals in 100 appearances for the Potters, he will leave a handsome profit at the club who brought him to the Premier League.
