West Ham fans not happy with the direction of the club’s Hammer of the Year award

West Ham United fans are seemingly unhappy with who has been awarded the club’s prestigious Hammer of the Year award.

Summer signing Marko Arnautovic scooped the main prize during the club’s award night earlier in the week after a brilliant season at the London Stadium.

The Austrian is the Hammers’ top scorer with 10 goals, one of those coming as a memorable winner during a 1-0 victory over Chelsea earlier in the season.

After picking up the award, Arnautovic paid thanks to the Claret and Blue army for their support in what’s been a difficult season.



“I want to thank every single fan who supports West Ham for this award,” he said, “It means a lot to me. It was hard for me at the beginning of the season but now it’s going well and I want to do my job for many years to come. We are not finished yet.

“This award that I have received, I am very happy and very proud. I want to keep doing my job for this Club because I came here to do my job and everybody has seen what I can do and that I’m very happy to be here and I want to keep doing it.

“I try to do my best. The gaffer gave me some advice which was to run hard and do my best and I did it. All the players helped me. I love them and they love me – you can hear this!”

While Arnautovic was the hands-on favourite for the award however, the fans believe it should have perhaps gone to a different recipient …
