West Ham boss David Moyes insists he has no news of Chinese interest in Andriy Yarmolenko.

The Ukraine international is being linked Shandong Luneng.

But Moyes Moyes has played down the chances of Yarmolenko leaving this summer.

“I haven't heard anything about it," he said.

“We enjoy Yarmo, we like him. He's made some big contributions to us at different times so it's something that I'm not aware of, no."

Meanwhile, Moyes is unsure about making a new offer for Burnley defender James Tarkowski.

Burnley rejected a second bid of £30m from West Ham for the England international on Thursday. Burnley manager Sean Dyche said earlier this week that the Clarets are under no pressure to sell and Moyes is unsure if West Ham will be able to meet their asking price, which is believed to be in the region of £50m.

When asked if that would be too much for West Ham to pay, Moyes said: "I would have to say so, in this market and this window it would. I think we've all taken a little bit of a knock from the COVID-19 situation, we certainly have, and because of that it would make it difficult.

"But we're trying to get good players and bring in players that will improve the squad. We're not going to just pick willy-nilly, I want to try and pick ones that I want. If Burnley say no and Sean says no then I totally respect that decision. But yes, we have made a couple of offers for him."

Moyes admits he is unsure if the West Ham board will return with an improved bid for Tarkowski, who has also been heavily linked with Leicester City.

"I don't know. I think it's a decision for the board to see if they think it's right," added Moyes. "We have a limit where we feel as though we can't go much further, and they have a price that they probably think they can accept. I don't know if we're close to that or not to be honest."
