Chinese clubs to offer Arsenal ace Alexis Sanchez £400k-a-week

Cashed up Chinese Super League clubs are willing to offer Alexis Sanchez a massive £400,000 per week.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that mega rich Chinese outfits are eager to lure the Arsenal star away from the Premier League.

The Gunners are keen to tie Alexis down to a new and improved contract with negotiations believed to be ongoing.

However, the overtures of the Far East are turning the head of the 27-year-old Chilean ace who reportedly wants £200,000 a week to stay at the Emirates.

Arsenal remain hopeful of reaching an agreement with Alexis' representatives but the prospective offers from China may have unsettled the former Barcelona man.

Alexis is a reported target for both Manchester City and Juventus but the money on offer in China is more lucrative than what he can earn in the UK and Europe.
