SANCHEZ UPS THE ANTE
ALEXIS SANCHEZ is demanding a staggering £400,000 a week to sign a new deal at Arsenal.
It leaves the club at a contract stand-off as they have offered in excess of £275,000 a week but Sanchez has got just one year left on his deal. The Gunners would then face a dilemma over whether to cash in or gamble on him signing during his final year.
Arsenal’s record £52million signing Alexandre Lacazette said he has wanted to join the Gunners for years.
The France striker said: “Throughout my childhood, thanks to Thierry Henry and other French players, I always dreamed of playing for this club – that dream has been fulfilled.”
