Shanghai SIPG have made Marko Arnautovic available for loan this month.
The Telegraph says Shanghai SIPG will allow the Austrian to return to Europe to help ease some financial pressure. The striker currently earns €310,000-a-week.
A return to West Ham has been mooted for Arnautovic, where he could move to replace Sebastien Haller after his sale to Ajax last week.
Arnautovic's contract with Shanghai SIPG is now inside it's final 18 months.
Along with Arnautovic, West Ham are also considering Patson Daka (Red Bull Salzburg) , Mariano Diaz (Real Madrid) and Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal).
