Marko Arnautovic: 'I signed for Stoke City because of Mark Hughes'

Stoke City's summer signing Marko Arnautovic has insisted that he signed for the Potters as manager Mark Hughes convince him to join the club. 

The Austria International striker joined the Potters from Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen on transfer deadline day for a fee of £2m.

Arnautovic told The Sentinel : "The trainer gave me a very good feeling about the club when he came over to Germany to speak to me.


"He said many good things and made Stoke City a very good option for me. I am really happy to be here and I have to thank the club for giving me this opportunity to come here and play in the Premier League.

"I hope that I can pay them back for the faith they have in me with good performances."
