New Pictures Marko Arnautovic’s £35m transfer to China from West Ham OFF and he is ‘not in right frame of mind’ to play against Bournemouth

MARKO ARNAUTOVIC’S dream move to China has collapsed.

And West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini has pulled his unsettled striker from the squad to face Bournemouth tomorrow as a result.

Arnautovic, 29, was hoping to secure a mega bucks deal worth around £300,000 a week to join Shagnhai SIPG, and even appeared to wave his goodbye to Hammers fans last week when he was substituted in the 1-0 win over Arsenal.

But the Chinese champions have now cooled their interest, leaving West Ham’s joint-top scorer in limbo and according to sources “not in the right frame of mind to play” in tomorrow’s Premier League match as a result.

West Ham did not want to sell Arnautovic all along and gave Pellegrini the final say so on the deal.

The Hammers received a bid of around £35 million last week which was rejected and were holding out for at least £45m.

Pellegrini said: “Marko is one of the most important players we have but the squad knows these things can happen. We are just focused on trying to beat Bournemouth.

“We played without Marko four or five games in December and we won those games.

“He will continue being an important player for us but we must continue thinking about our next rival.”

Pellegrini was split on whether to give the sale the go-ahead as Arnautovic is considered one of the key players in West Ham’s revival this season.

He has scored eight goals but also turns 30 in April.

His brother and representative Danijel Arnautovic claimed Marko wanted to leave West Ham to win titles but insisted the player would ‘give 100 per cent’ for the club despite the speculation.
