West Ham maintain that the 29-year-old is not for sale but his representative, DanijelArnautovic, is urging the Premier League club to let him move on this month.“West Ham bought Marko for peanuts,” read a statement released by DanijelArnautovic to talkSPORT.“They paid 20million for him, which is nothing in the current market.“They bought him to keep them in the Premier League last season and he did that. He took every award at the club; best player, signing of the season and the players’ award.“Now West Ham have a fantastic offer. It is close to double what they paid for him. “He wants to go to a new market and challenge for titles. This is what he wants.“It is his great desire that West Ham accept the offer from China.”Arnautovic agreed a move to West Ham in July 2017, joining from the club’s then Premier League rivals Stoke. The former Inter Milan man has gone from strength to strength in the year-and-a-half since he swapped Staffordshire for London, with 19 goals netted in all competitions.Incredibly, he needs just seven more goals to match the tally he recorded throughout his entire 145-game career with Stoke.

West Ham responded toDanijel’s comments by releasing a statement of their own.“Marko Arnautovic has a contract and we full expect him to honour it,” the statement read. “He is not for sale.”Earlier on Thursday, Manuel Pellegrini, the West Ham manager, responded to the rumoured big-money bid for Arnautovic, who is currently level with Felipe Anderson in the club’s scoring charts for the season.“They are rumours,” Pellegrini said. “We know Marko is a very good player so maybe a lot of clubs will want him to play for their team, but at the moment he is a West Ham player and we want to keep him.“I think Marko and all the other players involved in rumours have their heads here and want to continue playing the way they are doing so far.“I am sure his head will be in the game against Arsenal and it will not affect his performance.”
