West Ham United forward Marko Arnautovic has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Everton.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was interested in completing the surprise signing of the Austrian international, who had a big impact during his first campaign at the London Stadium.

However, according to The Sun, new Everton boss Marco Silva is also an admirer of Arnautovic and wants the Toffees to launch a bid for the versatile frontman.

West Ham will allegedly only entertain offers in the region of £50m but the Portuguese is said to be keen on convincing director of football Marcel Brands to push forward with an approach.

Arnautovic - who still has four years left on his contract - contributed 11 goals and six assists in the Premier League during the most recent campaign.
