Coutinho has now been linked to Chelsea

West Ham United star Marko Arnautovic has long been linked with a move out of the club. And it felt like he would finally move out of West Ham in this window with a lucrative offer coming in from China.

However, it seems as though the club in China are retracing their steps as this report from talkSPORT states that interest from China has been dropped. Manuel Pellegrini will now have to find a way to reintegrate him with the squad after he seemingly waved goodbye to the Hammers fans while being subbed out against Arsenal.

Meanwhile, in what seems like a shocking claim, Chelsea have made with contact with Barcelona over a potential deal Brazil star Philippe Coutinho, according to Express.

The Brazilian has lost his indispensability status with the Catalans, leaving a lot of scope for stories like this to come up.
