Background
Arnautović was born in Floridsdorf, a district in the northern part of Vienna. His father is Serbian, and his mother is Austrian, Despite his native German, Arnautović is also fluent in Serbian, Dutch and English.[3]
Club career
Early career
He began his career with his brother Danijel at Floridsdorfer AC. Despite having a reputation of displaying behavioural problems[4] he was being scouted by FC Twente, where he signed a contract for the reserve team.[5]
Arnautović scored 22 goals in 24 games for the Under-19 FC Twente in the 2007–08 season, helping them win the youth championship. He then played for Jong FC Twente between 2006 and 2008, appearing in 32 games and scoring 27 goals.
Twente
He made his debut in the professional football squad of FC Twente in the 2006–07 season as a substitute for Kennedy Bakircioglü against PSV Eindhoven in April 2007. In July 2008 he extended his contract with Twente despite interest from Dutch giants Feyenoord.[6]
Internazionale
On 4 August 2009, it was said that Arnautović was on the verge of a move to Italian giants Internazionale. The deal had been largely held up due to a stress fracture in Arnautovic's right foot, leading to a re-negotiation of the deal between the clubs.[7] On 6 August it was announced by Twente that the details for the loan had been finalised, Arnautović would join Inter on loan for the season. The deal was said to become permanent if he was to play a set number of matches. If the deal does not become permanent the player will return to Twente on a pre-agreed contract of two years, with an option to extend the contract for a third year.[8] He made his unofficial debut for Inter Milan in a friendly game on 5 September 2009 against the Swiss team, FC Lugano. The final score was 3–3.[9] He made his league debut in a 1–0 away victory against Chievo. Jose Mourinho said that Arnautovic "is a fantastic person but has the attitude of a child".[10][11]
Werder Bremen
On 4 June 2010, German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen confirmed that they had signed Arnautović from Twente on a four year deal.[12][13] Arnautović again made it into the newspapers for not playing or not behaving well.[14] [15][16]
International career
Arnautović played his first match for the Austria national senior team on 11 October 2008 against the Faroe Islands.[17]
