Chelsea may swoop for West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic in January if efforts to sign Gonzalo Higuain prove unsuccessful, Bleacher Report claim.

Maurizio Sarri is eager to boost his attacking options at Stamford Bridge with strikers Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud continuing to misfire this season.

Arnautovic has scored seven Premier League goals this season, more than the Chelsea duo combined and would significantly lessen the goalscoring burden on Eden Hazard.
