Coronavirus: Arsenal in 'productive' talks with players over pay cuts as executives reduce wages

The Gunners claim that positive discussions are taking place after the players had previously rejected a 12.5 per cent pay cut

Arsenal remain in "productive and ongoing conversations" with the squad over alterations to pay amid the coronavirus pandemic while the club's executive team have agreed to waive over a third of their wages in the next 12 months.

As reported by Goal , the Gunners' playing staff had rejected an initial offer of a 12.5 per cent pay cut with the opportunity to claw some of that back through performance-based incentives.

An Arsenal statement did not offer specifics on talks but said discussions are still taking place in the hope of finding a resolution.
