Marko Arnautovic admits he had several offers to leave Stoke City this summer.
The 27-year-old forward says there was interest from other clubs as he entered into the final year of his contract but his only thought was agreeing a deal with Stoke.
"We've had talks for a long time and there were ups and downs," he told Stoke's official website.
"But for me I was never thinking about leaving Stoke because they gave me a warm family and the fans have always been behind me. That's why I like the club."
