Arsenal are on the verge of tying Alexis Sanchez down to a new long-term deal, according to reports.
The all-action forward has been in superb form as of late for the Gunners and is set to be rewarded with a lucrative contract.
The Daily Mirror claim Sanchez will pen a five-year extension and his wages will rise from £130,000-a-week to £150,000-a-week.
It is thought the new deal will contain big incentives too.
Mesut Ozil is also expected to follow suit and commit his long-term future to the Gunners.
 
Nolito has declared he won’t sign a new contract until “a detail” has been ironed out.
The 29-year-old, who still has three years left to run on his present deal with Celta Vigo, has attracted interest from the Gunners.
Nolito’s release clause is expected to rise from £12.6million to £17.5m to put off suitors.
The Spaniard has also attracted interest from Liverpool in the past, but speaking about the transfer rumours, he said: “Valencia, Atletico, Naples, Liverpool (wanted me)… and I'm still here.

"If someday a team wants me then come speak with Celta and pay what you have to pay.”
Arsenal have been backed to mount a title challenge this term by Roberto Mancini.
The former Manchester City boss thinks it will be a three-horse race for Premier League silverware this term.
He said: “I am proud that the team, whose core I built, is doing well this year. But the Premier League is such a difficult championship in which you need to work really hard to win each and every game.
“City will face competition from Manchester United and Arsenal as it is now clear that Chelsea will find it difficult to finish in the top four.”
