West Ham United have completed the sale of Marko Arnautovic to Shanghai SIPG.

Sky Sports says SIPG have paid £22.4m for the Austrian striker.

The Hammers were prepared to accept an offer for the 30-year-old to avoid a similar saga that broke out in January.

Back then, the players's brother, who is also his agent, complained about West Ham not selling his client to a Chinese Super League club in January.

He attacked the east London club again last week and the club had had enough.

The deal is expected to made official early next week.
