Jack Wilshere has told Marko Arnautovic West Ham need him amid interest from China.
A Chinese club have bid £35m for the forward and he wants to quit West Ham.
But Wilshere has highlighted how important he is.
“We need him, he’s one of the best strikers in the Premier League,” Wilshere said on Sky Sports.
“I’ve played with a few good strikers and he’s up there with them.
“What he brings to the team is so important to us.”
