Arnautovic convinced by West Ham potential

West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic is convinced by the club's potential.

West Ham host Chelsea at London stadium today.

Austria star Arnautovic said: “This club is ­capable of more.

“We don't want to be where we are, still right now. We are not a club that wants to be fighting ­relegation. I always thought in those years I played for Stoke that playing against West Ham was always a difficult game.

“West Ham was always top eight, top seven, always around top 10.

“I was thinking: 'Yeah, when I go there, we take another couple of players, and we can reach even higher.' But it turned out we were fighting against relegation. This year there was even more excitement, because we spent even more money and even more players came in.

“Hopefully the win against Everton will give us confidence. Chelsea are on fire at the moment – it will be ­difficult."
