Brighton and Hove Albion striker Glenn Murray has warned his team-mates to watch out for Marko Arnautovic.
Speaking to The Argus, Murray highlighted Arnautovic as the danger man ahead of Friday’s Premier League clash.
West Ham travel to Brighton on Friday night to take on the Seagulls.
After winning three in their last four in all competitions, West Ham are in good form and will feel confident.
This will be further boosted by news that Arnautovic is fit and raring to go.
Marko Arnautovic
Arnautovic has picked up where he left off last season and has been an integral part of West Ham’s success.
The Austria international has scored four goals in his six Premier League appearances this season.
This included the third goal in wins against Everton and Manchester United.
The 29-year-old also has an assist to his name this season and his all-round game play allows West Ham to implement the style of play that they do.
Operating as the central striker in a front three, Arnautovic brings others like Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko into the game.
Murray’s praise
Murray, who has four goals himself this season, pointed out that Arnautovic is the main man for the visitors.
The 35-year-old told The Argus: “He’s a fantastic player and he’s shown that at West Ham. He almost carried the team at stages last year and he showed what a top quality player he is.
“He’s set off again in the same vein of form that he ended last season. He is the danger man and we’ve got to try to keep a lid on him.”
