The West Ham United fans in the Transfer Tavern are in dreamland right now.
After a slow start to their summer window – a period that saw only Pablo Zabaleta join the Hammers – it seems Slaven Bilic’s side have upped their game when it comes to bringing players to the London Stadium ahead of next season.
A loan deal for Joe Hart looks to have been completed, while reports from the Evening Standard suggest Stoke City man Marko Arnautovic is close to joining the Irons in a club record deal.
With the east London outfit in dire need of a big-name forward, the idea of seeing the 28-year-old arrive has delighted those clad in claret and blue in our bar. Furthermore, fans have taken to Twitter to express their happiness at this potential move.
That being said, here’s a look at how West Ham fans reacted on Twitter to their seemingly imminent Marko Arnautovic move.
Yeah, we need Premier League experience rather than looking abroad for untested players like we did last summer. He’ll improve us.

I think Arnautovic will be a great signing for us, but £23m…
Just shows how crazy the market has become. #WHUFC #COYI
