Chinese Club Look to Tempt Arsene Wenger to CSL With World Record Deal After Leaving Arsenal

Arsene Wenger could become the highest-paid manager in world football if he accepts a lucrative move to the Chinese Super League after he leaves Arsenal this summer.

It is not yet known which club are eyeing up the Frenchman, but the Mirror claims that they would pay him a salary greater even than Marcello Lippi's £24m-a-year deal with the Chinese national team.

This would far eclipse the Premier League's highest earner - Pep Guardiola on £16m-a-year - and Wenger's current deal at Arsenal, where he has been earning £8m per annum.
