West Ham reject £35m bid for Arnautovic

West Ham United have rejected a £35m bid for Marko Arnautovic from an unnamed Chinese club.

Arnautovic scored twice in West Ham's 2-2 draw with Brighton last week (image via Sky Sports).

However, the Hammers do not want to sell the Austria forward, who they signed last summer for £20m, with Arnautovic contracted until 2022.

Arnautovic has scored 11 times last season (in all competitions), and has eight goals in 17 games this campaign.

The striker was clearly unhappy at being taken off in Saturday's 2-0 win over Birmingham City in the FA Cup - in which he also scored.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini played down the Austrian's reaction, though: "He (Arnautovic) was angry for just one minute, that is it."

His impressive form in the last couple of seasons has unsurprisingly attracted interest from England and abroad, but Pellegrini said this last week: "I am sure Marko Arnautovic will stay here with us."

Arnautovic was also linked with a move to Manchester United last summer, and he's also a target for Chelsea, according to reports.
