Rumours of Chelsea’s interest in Marko Arnautovic have been denied with club insiders saying there has been no enquiry or bid for the Austrian inform attacker.

Speculation in the past twenty-four hours which started at Sky Sports suggested that Chelsea could make a bid for the former Stoke City midfielder who cost West Ham a record-breaking £25m but the West Ham hierarchy are bemused at the latest rumours.

Such like the fake Andy Carroll story to Chelsea for £35m last week this latest rumour has no substance with insiders saying the club would rebuff any approach to Marko if it came in which it hasn’t they emphasised.

Claret and Hugh revealed last night that Marko Arnautovic has suffered a hamstring tear after the Bournemouth game which could keep him out for up to three weeks.  I am sure the chief mischief makers will soon be writing headlines that Chelsea have suddenly lost interest because of Marko’s injury situation.
