Marko Arnautovic bagged a hat-trick at West Ham’s player awards on Wednesday night.

The Awards, brought to you by Betway and in aid of the West Ham Academy and held at London’s InterContinental hotel on Wednesday, saw the club-record signing pick up Hammer of the Year, Signing of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season after turning his form around since David Moyes' appointment.

The Austrian arrived from Stoke last summer but struggled under former manager Slaven Bilic, but Arnautovic has spearheaded the West Ham front line to great effect since November.

The 29-year-old has scored ten in the Premier League, all under Moyes, and is the first Hammers player to reach double figures in the league since Diafra Sakho's 10 in 2014/15.

Further to Arnautovic’s success, Pedro Obiang picked up the gong for goal of the season for his thunderous effort in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham at Wembley in January.

Declan Rice was named Young Player of the Year for the second year in a row to cap a fine breakthrough season in the first team. The 19-year-old, who was handed his first-team debut on the final day of last season, has also excelled under Moyes and will be handed a new contract in the coming weeks.
