Arsenal players in sombre mood at training before jetting off to face AC Milan

London Colney training ground was a less jovial place to be this morning as Arsenal stars prepared for their trip to AC Milan.

Reports of discontent in the squad have surfaced today with apparent rifts opening up between players following the club smashing their wage structure in recent months.

Mesut Ozil signed a new £350,000 per week deal, far surpassing every other player in the squad.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were also offered huge money to move to the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger and his players are under enormous pressure to succeed in the Europa League, and the mood appeared to be reflected in training.
