West Ham reject lucrative offers from Chinese Super League clubs for striker Andy Carroll

West Ham have rejected offers from Chinese clubs for Andy Carroll.

The 6ft 4ins striker was a target for Tianjin Quanjian, Hebei China Fortune and Shandong Luneng, however, West Ham could ill afford to let him go with a threadbare squad and limited attacking options.

Diafra Sakho, however, is due to return from injury next month.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is hopeful Carroll will be fit to face Chelsea in their next match a week on Monday.

The former Liverpool forward missed Saturday's 1-1 draw at Watford with a groin problem but Bilic expects him back in full training by Wednesday at the latest.
