Stoke have accepted a bid of £24 million from West Ham for forward Marko Arnautovic, according to multiple reports.

The 28-year-old asked to leave the bet365 Stadium earlier this month, handing in a transfer request, and after seeing two lower bids rejected, a fee now has reportedly been agreed.

Arnautovic, who was in Switzerland for Stoke's preseason training camp, was only 12 months into a four-year contract, putting the Potters into a strong bargaining position.

Arnautovic joined Stoke from Werder Bremen in 2013 and has made 145 appearances while scoring 26 goals for the Potters.
