Amidst the maelstrom of current debate about the continued suitability of Arsene Wenger as the manager of Arsenal, one thing is for sure – Arsenal desperately need to hang on to their star man Alexis Sanchez.
It would be easy for such an elite player to have his head turned. At 26 he is in his pomp and he could play for anyone – including his old club Barca.
On the flip side, he is the main man at a club with remarkable facilities and, still, fantastic potential.
The Sunday Mirror reports that the club will offer him a new mega deal to stay at the club:
Talks are expected to start before Christmas on contract that could give the all-action Chilean forward a pay-rise to £130,000 per week
It seems ridiculous to even write this. But such is the state of elite level football that 130,000 per week doesn’t sound that much.
Arsenal may have to raise the bar on their wage structure if they want to keep him and sign a couple more world beaters.
Sanchez has been the stand out performer for The Gunners almost since he walked on the pitch for them at the start of last season, scoring 29 in 61 games for the club.
Arsenal fans will see his continued stay as pivotal to the club’s fortunes.
Let’s see his best moments at the club.
