Back in 2017, Liverpool decided to bring the high-speed freight train of one player, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, to Jürgen Klopp. The central midfielder had impressed at Arsenal in his 198 appearances, Liverpool had to break Arsenal’s sales record to persuade the Gunners to sell their midfield star. Eight years later, “Ox” is back on the Arsenal training ground, the old club gladly opened the door for their former star on the hunt for clubs.
From 2011 to 2017, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain thundered around the Premier League arena. Then came the move to Liverpool, who raised around £35 million. Nine years later, the midfielder still stands as Arsenal’s biggest sale. Now “Ox” is back on the training ground in London.
Oxlade-Chamberlain left Liverpool in 2023, the stay consisted of a combination of titles with Klopp, 146 games, repeated injury breaks and a lack of continuity with match form. Besiktas signed with the Englishman, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came and went as coach, where Oxlade-Chamberlain did not exactly play his way into the fan favorite. In the summer, the club and player agreed to end the contract, now it is reported that “Ox” is staying fit at Arsenal.
According to Sky Sports, Oxlade-Chamberlain has rejected a number of lucrative clubs during the summer, where his career will continue in England.
He has previously been linked with Birmingham, but as is well known, nothing came of it. The English media reports that the 32-year-old is currently training with Arsenal’s U21 team.
For a potential return to Arsenal? Nope, in order to maintain his form while he looks for a new club, it is reported.
Then we will see if Arsenal’s youth push the 32-year-old to the top form English clubs in the top two levels need.
