Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta allegedly heaped pressure on some of the club's younger stars to accept a proposed 12.5 per cent pay cut, it has emerged.
Furthermore, some Gunners stars are displeased with the way Mesut Ozil has been vilified for refusing to agree to the proposal.
The former Germany international is one of three Arsenal players to still reject the proposal on the advice of his agent Dr.
Erkut Sogut. The majority of Arteta's squad initially snubbed Arsenal’s request for them to make the salary forfeit to help the club through the coronavirus lockdown.
