West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic "is not for sale" - despite the player's agent and brother saying he wants to move to a Chinese club.

The Hammers have received a £35m bid for the Austrian from an unnamed side in China.

The 29-year-old has scored seven Premier League goals this season.

His agent and brother, Danijel Arnautovic, told Talksport on Thursday it is his client's "great desire that West Ham accept the offer from China".

A West Ham spokesperson said: "Marko has a contract and we fully expect him to honour it. He is not for sale."

Arnautovic moved to London Stadium for a club-record £20m fee from Stoke in July 2017 and his contract runs until 2022.

Owelle:A mini football competition in Abuja saw our gaffer sending two of our players to the opposition training camp where they had disguised themselves as ice cream sellers. The trick was unfruitful. We were annihilated. 7-1.

Did they have a full range of flavours? Flakes? Those little wooden sticks? MI6, sign these guys up.

Samir Nasri is in the West Ham starting XI to make his first Premier Leageu appearance since August 2016, when he appeared for Manchester City against the Hammers.

Marko Arnautovic also starts.

Arsenal keep the same starting XI with Aaron Ramsey on the bench and Mesut Ozil, despite apparently being back to fitness, left out the squad entirely.

Juventus are leading the race to sign Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old's current preference is to join the Italian champions but, contrary to some reports, he has yet to make a final decision and will continue to consider offers from a number of Europe's leading clubs.

The likelihood is Ramsey's next club, with no transfer fee to pay, will make him the best-paid British player of all time.

It is understood his boyhood dream was to play for Barcelona but despite preliminary talks that option will not be pursued.

Samir Nasri is set for his first Premier League appearance since August 2016, after making his West Ham debut in the FA Cup win against Birmingham.

Marko Arnautovic's participation is in doubt amid claims he wants to move to China, while Fabian Balbuena is out for eight weeks following knee surgery.

Mesut Ozil, Laurent Kosciely and Hector Bellerin are among the six Arsenal players available after injuries.

Shkodran Mustafi and Nacho Monreal are also fit and in contention.

The big news of the morning that you may not have caught is the latest twist in the Championship's 'Spygate' row.

Last night, before his side's 2-0 win at home to Derby, Leeds' manager Marcelo Bielsa admitted he had sent a member of staff to the Rams' training ground the previous day.

Leeds, who Bielsa said had no knowledge of his plans, have promised "to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on."

"Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County's owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelo's actions," their statement added.

Quite.
