The Austrian ended last season with 11 goals from 31 games, however, this season, Arnautovic seems revitalized and ready for a big one. He started the season with a horrible defeat at the hands of Liverpool, but since then, Arnautavic has been in good form. He scored his first goal of the season in the defeat against Bournemouth. He also scored West Ham’s only goal in the defeat to Arsenal in the next game. He could not find the back of the net in the game against Wolves as West Ham succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat. However, he made amends in the exuberant win against Everton, scoring his third goal as his club registered their first win of the season. The big one was just around the block though. It was his efficiently taken goal that took the game away from Manchester United last weekend and earned West Ham a memorable win.
Arnautovic has registered 16 shots this season so far and 7 of those have been on target. His goals per game ratio is 0.67 and due to his recent form, he is ranked in the 5th position in this list.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
