Arnautovic says he will STAY at West Ham for the rest of the season

Marko Arnautovic has agreed to stay at West Ham until at least the summer following crunch talks with the club on Friday.

The Hammers value Arnautovic at £45million and have been open to selling the 29-year-old if their valuation was met by the interested clubs from China.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini had also identified Celta Vigo's 22-year-old striker Maxi Gomez, who has a £43.3m release clause, as a suitable replacement.
