Arsene Wenger: We can’t live with China cash

Arsene Wenger has warned of the “danger” of astronomical wages being offered by Chinese Super League clubs becoming the benchmark for the Premier League’s top talent.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been linked with a move to the Far East with an offer of £600,000 a week reportedly on the table for the Spain international.

Two of his former Stamford Bridge team-mates, Oscar and John Obi Mikel, have already moved to Super League outfits, while former Premier League striker Carlos Tevez became the highest-earning player in the world when he joined Shanghai Shenhua.
