Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil‘s bromance and Arsenal contract tag-team could be wrecked by mega-money offers from Chelsea and China
The two forwards share an incredible, almost telepathic, understanding on the pitch and are enjoying a growing friendship off the field.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ is holding up the mega-double-deal to keep him and Mesut Ozil at Arsenal because of the crazy money on offer from Chelsea and China.
The Gunners�?two star men are entering the final 18 months of their contracts at the Emirates �?a historically terrifying time for Arsenal fans �?and are in powerful positions thanks to their strong start to the season.
It has even been reported that the agents of the two superstars - Erkut Sogut working on behalf of Ozil and Fernando Felicevich for Sanchez �?have teamed up in a transfer tag-team to wrestle the best deal out of Arsene Wenger and the board.
The two forwards share an incredible, almost telepathic, understanding on the pitch and are enjoying a growing bromance off the field.
The Chilean menace even said in November: “I get on the best with Ozil. I enjoy playing with everyone but I get on even better with him.
“We don’t need to say anything to each other, it just takes a glance.�?/p>
But it’s the admiring glances from Stamford Bridge and Shanghai SIPG that could wreck the Arsenal dream team.
Both Antonio Conte and former Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas, now in charge at Shanghai after flopping at Chelsea and Spurs, are ready to boost Sanchez’s wages.

Ozil is apparently happy to agree a new £200,000-a-week deal after bagging two Premier League assists and five goals this campaign.
But 12-goal ace Sanchez, who has also teed up five goals for teammates, has an offer of £400,000 on the table from the Far East and could get an improved deal out of Roman Abramovich’s billions.
Earlier this week, Gunners general secretary David Miles said: “Of course, we know talks are ongoing with certain players and certain contracts.
“At the moment, things are looking pretty good in that way.�?/p>
The Gunners have higher hopes of retaining Ozil as he doesn’t have as many clubs chasing his signature and he just splashed out £10m on a new north London mansion.
