The Chilean is 18 months away from the end of his contract at Arsenal and has not ruled out the possibility of heading to the Far East for a huge pay day.

Alexis Sanchez has not ruled out a lucrative move to the Chinese Super League, according to The Sun.

Like Mesut Ozil, the Chilean's current deal expires in 2018 and Arsenal are keen to tie him down to fresh terms, with a number of top European clubs monitoring developments.

But Alexis is holding out for a £250,000-a-week salary and his advisors are considering options in China, where he could earn in excess of that figure.
