Sanchez told he cannot get 'Messi and Ronaldo wages' at Arsenal

The signing of Alexandre Lacazette may not be enough to keep the unsettled Chilean in north London, in the view of a former Gunner Charlie Nicholas

Alexis Sanchez is not going to get wages like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at Arsenal and a "painful" exit is looking likely, according to ex-Gunner Charlie Nicholas.

Chile international Sanchez has a year left on his contract and is being pursued by Manchester City, with his future still uncertain after playing in the Confederations Cup.

The 28-year-old said last week he has made a decision on his future, but is yet to reveal his intentions, leaving a concerned Nicholas feeling Arsenal must now consider allowing the forward to leave.
