Former West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce believes the club would be better off cashing in on Marko Arnautovic.

The 29-year-old is the subject of an offer worth £35 from an unnamed Chinese Super League club, which Allardyce has advised the Hammers to accept.

He told Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday: "He is the type of player when he wants to leave, you are better off cashing in.

"His mentality will change and there's always been a mark about his temperament against his ability.

"You don't want another situation like [Dimitri] Payet and I think it's sad considering what West Ham have done for him..

"This is not a career move – it's a money move. He wants to secure his future, and you are better off cashing in."
