Guangzhou Evergrande have ended their pursuit of West Ham attacker Marko Arnautovic.

The Daily Mail says Arnautovic's move to China collapsed on Saturday night after Guangzhou Evergrande pulled out of the proposed £45million deal.

The West Ham striker had been left out of Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth after manager Manuel Pellegrini said "his head was on another issue" and hinted at problems in training by adding: "A manager must choose the players that work better during the week".

The 29-year-old Arnautovic had made it clear he wanted to leave after Guangzhou offered £35.2million and wages of £280,000 a week.

His brother and agent Danijel released a statement saying "he wanted to win titles in China".
