Jamie Redknapp insists West Ham can cope without Marko Arnautovic.
A £35m offer was rejected by the Hammers from a Chinese Super League club this week.
His brother spoke out on his future this week and suggested West Ham should let him go.
But Redknapp says the Hammers can get by with or without the Austrian.
“You want to keep him… of course you do. But West Ham will survive with or without him.
They’ve done it before – with (Dimitri) Payet. Someone else comes in. There’s always somebody else that will come along.
But what you don’t want is to be held to account by somebody who says: “I want this”. It doesn’t look good.”
