Marko Arnautovic Confirms Plans for West Ham Future Amidst Chinese Transfer Speculation

Marko Arnautovic has performed a massive U-turn with the Austrian forward dismissing speculation linking him with a move away from West Ham, despite reports earlier on Friday that the Hammers had finally agreed to let him to leave.

The Austrian has been the subject of intense speculation in recent weeks since the opening of the January transfer window, with two Chinese Super League sides registering their interest in the forward.

Despite the Hammers insisting that the 29-year-old was not for sale, Sky Sports News reported earlier on Friday afternoon that this stance had changed.

The report claimed that Manuel Pellegrini's side were willing to negotiate Arnautovic's sale this month so long as they received an offer worth £50m.
