Yannick Carrasco Willing to Take Pay Cut to Complete Arsenal Transfer

Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco is reportedly willing to take a pay cut in order to join Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Carrasco currently plays for Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang and is on a lucrative £9m per-year contract. The former Atletico Madrid midfielder joined the Chinese side in February of 2018 and has scored seven goals in 25 appearances.

However, Calcio Mercato suggest that the Belgian midfielder is unhappy in China and is willing to take a pay cut in order to move back to Europe, with Arsenal joined by Manchester United and AC Milan in the running for his signature.
