Arsenal Players Reject Wage Slash Over COVID-19 Outbreak.

A report by the Telegraph, stated that, players of Arsenal Football Club have refused a club request to take a 12.5 percent wage slash for a year, with an incentive that the money would be returned to a player if a new individual deal was signed in the future.

As of recent Arsenal wage bill is estimated to be just under €265 million per annum. The club would have saved around €30 million had their players agreed to the proposal.
