Sanchez and Ozil team up to push through £300k-a-week demands
ALEXIS SANCHEZ and Mesut Ozil are in cahoots as they apply pressure on Arsenal to pay them the £300,000 per week they want. The pair are both stalling on new deals with Gunners chiefs eager to get a decision from their stars as soon as possible. The duo are keeping each other updated on developments regarding their individual contract negotiations as they look to extract the best possible offer. Arsenal have so far fallen short of Sanchez and Ozil’s demands, their latest offer to the Chilean has come in at £270,000 per week. It remains to be seen if either will be at the club next season. Meanwhile, Jack Wilshere fears his days at Arsenal are over after the confirmation of Arsene Wenger’s new deal. Wenger let Wilshere leave on loan for Bournemouth last summer. The England midfielder has just 12 months left on his contract and is yet to agree a new one. With Arsenal planning on signing at least one new central midfielder this summer, Wilshere looks set to be pushed further down the pecking order. As revealed by Sportsmail, Wilshere was sent to Dubai to complete a rehabilitation programme in his recovery from a broken leg, rather than remain at the club’s London Colney HQ. Arsenal could yet offer Wilshere fresh terms but it is likely to be a short-term deal with a view to protecting his transfer value.
