Marko Arnautovic declared his commitment to West Ham on Friday
Marko Arnautovic signed a contract extension at West Ham, after weeks of uncertainty about his club's future.

Arnautovic learned that he could leave for 50 million pounds sterling. Sky Sports News learned Friday, only so that the player can exclude a departure a few hours later.
West Ham had already rejected an offer of £ 35 million from an unidentified Chinese club.

He was not included in Manuel Pellegrini's team for his FA Cup fourth round defeat against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.
But after signing a new contract, Arnautovic said that he "never refused" to play or train.
"I'm happy for that and I want to say to the fans that I'm happy to stay, I'm happy to play again, to show myself and to score goals, to make badists, but also to say that the major point is: Marko Arnautovic has never refused [to play or train]", he said in a statement.
"I would never refuse.
"I'm happy, I'm happy to get to this point .I'm glad this club is improving." Step by step, every week, every month we see an improvement and that's fine . "
Arnautovic said Friday in an Instagram post that it was "not a secret" that there was an offer on the table for him coming from elsewhere.
"The fans gave me the power, they gave me energy and that's why I have to be here and that's why I want to stay," he said. he added Saturday. "I never wanted to run away because I hate this club, it was never my intention.
"I love this club and I will always love this club no matter the circumstances.You have decisions to make in life, but from now on no matter what will happen, I'll love always West Ham and it will always be big role in my life.
"I love this happiness, so listen, I'm here, I'm ready, I hope the fans are ready and we leave again."
