Marko Arnautovic's move to China collapsed on Saturday night after Guangzhou Evergrande pulled out of the proposed £45million deal.
The West Ham striker had been left out of Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth after manager Manuel Pellegrini said 'his head was on another issue' and hinted at problems in training by adding: 'A manager must choose the players that work better during the week'.
The 29-year-old Arnautovic had made it clear he wanted to leave after Guangzhou offered £35.2million and wages of £280,000 a week. His brother and agent Danijel released a statement saying 'he wanted to win titles in China'.
