Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande have pulled out of a deal to sign West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic.
According to The Daily Mail, via The BBC, Evergrande back back down from their bid to sign Arnautovic this month.
The report claims that the side offered a £45m deal for Arnautovic, but have now opted against going through with a move.
Arnautovic was left out of West Ham’s squad on Saturday as they lost 2-0 to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium – Callum Wilson and Josh King scored the goals.
The Austrian international has scored eight goals this season for the Hammers, with only Felipe Anderson netting more in the Premier League for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol also now claims that Arnautovic will stay at West Ham this month, with no sides meeting their valuation of the striker.
