Alexis Sanchez is set to become Arsenal's highest-paid star with the club eager to increase his current contract.
The 26-year-old has been superb in English football since joining from Barcelona two summers ago.
According to The Daily Mail, the Gunners are looking to reward his fine form with a hefty pay-rise on his current £130,000-a-week deal.
The new terms would make the Chilean Arsenal's top earner and put him among the Premier League's elite.
