West Ham Say Marko Arnautovic 'Not for Sale' Following Brother's Plea to Cash In

West Ham United have issued a statement confirming Marko Arnautovic will not be sold this month after the player's agent and brother asked the club to sell him.

Per Ed Aarons and Jacob Steinberg of the Guardian, an unnamed Chinese Super League club have bid £35 million for the forward, although the Hammers have turned the offer down.
