China's big spending really worries Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger warned the Premier League not to underestimate the enormous spending power of Chinese soccer after the Super League lured yet another major star from the EPL.
Wenger joined Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte in expressing concern that a growing number of players might be tempted by the riches available in China.
Wenger raised the issue last Friday - the same day Chelsea midfielder Oscar temporarily became the world's highest-paid player, earning a reported $490,760 per week, after he agreed to join Shanghai SIPG in the 16-team CSL.
