Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has hit out at West Ham signing Marko Arnautovic.

Coates has blasted Arnautovic after he completed a move from the Potters to West Ham.

“We are disappointed in him personally and the people around him," he told talkSPORT.

“We resurrected his career. Our manager and coaches worked very hard to improve him and made him a name in the game.

“Last year we put so much effort into giving him a long-term contract and the first thing we get in the summer is he wants to leave.

“But the team is more important than the individual."
