Chelsea to bid for Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

After a promising start to the summer transfer window, things seem to be spiraling out of control for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.

The signings of Kolasinac and Lacazette were seen as crucial but not the only ones required to make this Arsenal team challenge for the Premier league.

News has now filtered in that Alexis Sanchez may finally get his move to PSG while the future of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlein is also in doubt.

The 23 year old English midfielder has immense potential, but has so far failed to string a run of consistent performances in order to truly establish himself as a first team starter.

The Ox had a poor first half of the season, but came back strongly in the second half of last season. His performances as a wing back were particularly eye catching, as his attacking runs on the flanks were a major weapon for Arsenal at the back end of last season.

But now it looks as if the Ox is looking at moving away from Arsenal. He does not believe that he will have a sufficient first team opportunities and wishes to move to another club.

Liverpool and Chelsea are both very keen on the ex Southampton player, with Klopp in particular a huge admirer of him. But it looks like Conte will make the first move as he prepares to make a 25 million offer in the coming week.

Wenger would loathe to lose the Ox, and would try everything in his power to keep hold of him. But then again, Wenger does not have a great record at keeping his players.
