West Ham have made Callum Wilson their top target should they be forced to sell Marko Arnautovic.
A Chinese Super League club is pressing to sign Arnautovic this window and the club fear the Austrian's head could be turned by the huge wages that are being offered.
While they don't wish to lose him, accepting a substantial bid beyond the £36million already offered would make good business sense for a player who turns 30 this year.
Key to any deal is signing a strong replacement and Bournemouth and England striker Wilson is firmly in their sights.
