West Ham United winger Marko Arnautovic has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Chelsea.
Since the start of the January window, Chelsea have been linked with a wide range of players as Antonio Conte allegedly looks to bring in a new attacker before the end of the month.
The Blues are said to be nearing a deal for Roma striker Edin Dzeko but according to ESPN, Arnautovic is on the club's shortlist of possible signings.
Arnautovic endured a slow start to life at the London Stadium, but the Austrian international has contributed five goals and three assists in his last half-a-dozen outings in the Premier League.
West Ham are unlikely to entertain any offers for the 28-year-old, who has four-and-a-half years left on his existing deal with the Hammers.
During the summer, the East London outfit parted with £20m to sign Arnautovic from Stoke City.
