Chelsea know Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's personal demands to leave Arsenal.
Goal says Oxlade-Chamberlain believes he's worth £150,000-a-week to Chelsea if they're to lure him from Arsenal.
The Gunners are eager to keep the versatile star until the end of his contract but wages are the sticking point for him to extend his deal.
Chelsea have emerged as a potential destination, with a fee of about £35 million believed to be enough considering he'll be going for free next year.
However, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted over the last 24 hours he expects Oxlade-Chamberlain to stay.
