West Ham are refusing to sell Marko Arnautovic for anything less than £40 million this summer.
According to the London Evening Standard, the Hammers will not be forced into selling the player on the cheap after he handed in a transfer request earlier this week.
After seeing a deal to move to the Chinese Super League fall through during the January window, Arnautovic is now once again being heavily linked with a move away.
The first offer the club received came from an unnamed Chinese club and was believed to be in the region of £20 million, half of West Ham’s valuation of the player.
The report adds that West Ham would be willing to consider cashing in on the player this summer but only if their asking price for the forward is met.
West Ham have been looking to add to their front line this summer, so any deal to sell the Austrian could provide vital funds for further incomings.
