Arsenal superstar Alexis Sanchez would become the best paid player in the Premier League when he completes his transfer to Manchester United in the coming days.

According to The Sun, the Arsenal winger has been offered a stunning £505,000-a-week 4½-year deal at Old Trafford.

The Chile international will pocket £118.3million (approximately N57.3 billion in Nigerian currency) throughout the duration of his contract with Manchester United.

The transfer of Sanchez to the Red Devils depends on Henrikh Mikhtaryan agreeing with Arsenal to join the club.

The Armenian is demanding a golden handshake from United and also wants to be the Gunners best paid player and they are not willing.

Manchester United are eager to complete the deal for Sanchez before 12 noon on Friday, January 19, so he can be eligible to face Burnley the following day.
