Arnautovic agent slams West Ham after latest China bid rejected

West Ham United have rejected another mega offer for star striker Marko Arnautovic.

The target man is hoping to complete a move to the Chinese Super League this summer, where he would earn far more wages compared to his Hammers contract.

However, Sky Sports News reports that a £19.7m transfer bid was rejected, with the offer coming from an unnamed Chinese club.

Danijel Arnautovic, Marko's brother, is not happy with how West Ham have treated the attacker.

"He's not a cow or a horse which you bring to market," Danijel told Sky Sports News.

"He's a highly talented footballer who is simply being used by West Ham. He's just a number to them.

"West Ham were trying to get rid of Marco right up until the last minute of the January transfer window and they are still trying to sell him right now. To them he's just a commodity.

"West Ham are still speaking to the Chinese club. He is still for sale and it's simply a case of how much money West Ham can get for him."
