26-year-old Chilean attacker, Alexis Sanchez is set to seal a new contract with Arsenal which will make him the Gunners’ biggest earner.
The former Barcelona player currently earns £130,000 per week at the Emirates but the club is looking at improving on that already. Sanchez has been in top form this season having found the back of the net seven times in his latest four matches.
The highest earner at Arsenal is currently German midfielder, Mesut Özil who earns £140,000 per week. According to Daily Mail, the Gunners are also keen to renew Ozil’s contract as they are wary of letting the contracts of both Sanchez and Ozil run into their final years.
The new contract being prepared for Sanchez may see him overtake the German midfielder in the earnings table.
Arsenal already renewed the contracts of key players such as Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla over the summer.
