Arsenal: Alexis Sanchez considering lucrative move to China
The Sun continues to speculate on the future of Arsenal play-maker Alexis Sanchez. Having already stated that talks to extend the 27-year-old Chilean’s have broken down due to his wage demands of £250,000 a week, the journal is now reporting that the player himself has not ruled out a shock move to the lucrative Chinese Super-League.
Sanchez currently has a contract at the Emirates until 2018 which sees him earn £130,000 a week. The player however, is aware that a move to the Far-East could net him around £300,000 and he could be persuaded by such a huge offer. Boss Arsene Wenger knows how important the Chilean is to his Arsenal team; Sanchez is having a superb season and has already grabbed eight league goals in 13 appearances. The Gunners are desperate to tie down their star players with German midfielder Mesut Ozil set to start discussions on a possible extension in January.
