SNAPPED: Marko Arnautovic mobbed by Shanghai SIPG fans at Pudong airport

Former West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic has been welcomed to China by his new Shanghai SIPG fans.

The striker sealed a £23million move to Shanghai SIPG earlier this week after quitting the Hammers.

Arnautovic agreed a staggering £280,000-a-week with the Chinese Super League champions and were more than happy to welcome with affection after lining Pudong airport to greet him.

A beaming Arnautovic arrived carrying a bouquet of flowers with an SIPG scarf draped around his neck.

The 30-year-old also made an effort to endear himself to his new fans by waving a salute to the crowd before stopping to sign autographs.
