# Crystal Palace: Fans fume at Marko Arnautovic enquiry

**Both Crystal Palace and West Ham have made an enquiry for striker Marko Arnautovic.**

According to [Il Resto del Carlino](https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/), cited by [Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-already-made-enquiry-surprise-return-club-idol-crystal-palace-providing-competition/), both Palace and the Hammers have ‘already made an enquiry’ for the 32-year-old and ‘would represent a threat’ to Bologna’s chances of landing the Austrian.

And, as to be expected, the transfer update has had plenty of Eagles fans talking on social media.

Arnautovic, who currently plies his trade with Shanghai SIPG, is [expected to leave the Chinese Super League in the summer](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-already-made-enquiry-surprise-return-club-idol-crystal-palace-providing-competition/) following a government crackdown on spending.

The former West Ham forward has scored [20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marko-arnautovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/41384) goals in [38](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marko-arnautovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/41384) appearances for Shanghai. He made the move to China in a deal worth [£22.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marko-arnautovic/transfers/spieler/41384) back in 2019, but it seems as if a return to Europe could be on the cards.
