Everton have signed Marko Arnautovic and the deal will be confirmed tomorrow, according to reports in Austria.
The Stoke forward has been linked with the Blues only a handful of times in recent weeks, but if reports are to be believed the Austrian will soon become Ronald Koeman’s second signing of the summer. The report claims that Everton have met the players €15million release clause and could be used as backup to Belgian Romelu Lukaku.
Arnautovic scored 13 goals in all competitions last season, as well as chipping in with six assists. The Austrian played in the Eredivisie between 2006 and 2010, while Koeman was also in charge of both PSV and AZ Alkmaar during that time. Arnautovic then moved to Inter Milan on loan before signing for Werder Bremen permanently in 2010.
The forward signed for Stoke City in 2013 and since then has become one of Stoke’s most clinical forwards and enjoyed a successful time at the club.
