Arsenal are ready to hand a new contract to Alexis Sanchez.

The Daily Mail says Alexis is in line to become Arsenal's best-paid player as the club prepare talks over a new deal.

The Gunners are in the midst of a contract renewal drive with signing the Chilean star to fresh terms viewed as a priority.

Plans are at a early stage but the Gunners want to secure the future of Sanchez, who is arguably Arsene Wenger's most potent attacking player.

Only Mesut Ozil earns more than Sanchez; the German is paid £140,000-per-week.
