'I don't want to talk about it, theres no news' - Pellegrini dismisses Arnautovic links to China

Marko Arnautovic will not be distracted by rumours of a potential move to China as West Ham prepare to face Arsenal, according to Manuel Pellegrini.

Speculation has emerged this week suggesting that Arnautovic has been the subject of a £35m ($45m) bid from a Chinese Super League club.

The Austrian has been a key performer under Pellegrini this season, scoring seven times in 15 Premier League appearances, the forward enjoying a fine second campaign having signed a five-year deal in a £20m ($25m) switch from Stoke City in July 2017.

And Pellegrini had little by way of an update regarding Arnautovic's future when he faced the media on Thursday ahead of Arsenal's trip to London Stadium this weekend.
