• Wenger reportedly sanctions whopping new contract extension as the Gunners attempt to keep hold of their England international with Antonio Conte plotting swoop
• Chamberlain will reportedly be offered a bumper four-year deal by Arsenal to fend off interest from Chelsea.

Arsenal will make a move to end speculation about the future of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by offering him something closer to the wage he wants. 

Chelsea have the sights set on the England international with a bid of £40m being made.

The Ox wants a significant wage increase and has accepted that it may have to come from elsewhere, but the Daily Star say the Gunners have offered a new four-year deal with £125,000-a-week.

It’s a big leap from the initial offer of £100,000-a-week.
