Alexis Sanchez is set to be the recipient of a massive contract offer from Arsenal.

According to multiple reports, the Gunners want to reward the Chile international with a brand new deal which would see him contracted to the North London club for the long-term.

26-year-old Sanchez, who joined from Barcelona last summer, is currently under contract until 2018 but it is believed that Arsenal are desperate to tie him down and will prepare a bumper offer to make him the club's highest paid player.

Discussions are expected to kick off before Christmas as Arsene Wenger looks to secure the services of the Alexis who has recently hit top form with six goals in his past three appearances at club level.
