West Ham end Arnautovic saga and refuse to open new one on £43m Gomez

Manuel Pellegrini is keen to draw a line under Marko Arnautovic's future after the forward signed a new West Ham contract.

Arnautovic's agent and brother had told the media that the Austria international, linked with a lucrative move to the Chinese Super League, wanted to leave London Stadium.

But, after days of speculation, Arnautovic committed his future to West Ham by signing fresh terms with the club on Saturday.
