Marko Arnautovic wants out of the London Stadium this month

West Ham have turned down an initial bid from an unnamed club and maintain they do not want to sell their joint top-scorer.But if a satisfactory offer for Arnautovic is received, Hammers boss Pellegrini insists he will have no problem if the club do decide to cash in on the Austrian.“If I say the player must stay, the player will stay,” he said.“I don’t have any problem with the club. In all the months I’ve been working here I never had any problems with the owners about that.“So they are not forcing me to sell Marko Arnautovic. But I think as a manager the best thing is to take the solution that is best for the player and the club, both together.“If they agree, we don’t have any problem to change.“I am not telling the club about it. If it’s a good deal for both parties we will arrange to be without Marko. But the club doesn’t want to sell him.”2
