Arsenal 'tell their players they can avoid any wage cuts amid coronavirus crisis if they qualify for the Champions League when the season resumes'

Arsenal have offered their players no wage cut should the club qualify for next season's Champions League as a number of Premier League clubs continue their stand off with players over salary cuts.

The Gunners are five points adrift of fifth-placed Manchester United, which would be enough to ensure qualification for European football's top club competition due to Manchester City being suspended from the competition.

Given that the north London club have looked unlikely to qualify for the competition all season, The Telegraph reports that the proposal was a 'non-starter' among the playing squad.
