Daniel Farke has perfect chance to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain amid Leeds deal update
Leeds United are reportedly keen on signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer.
The 35-cap England international joined Besiktas in 2023 and penned a three-year contract there.
However, he failed to make an impression and now appears to be on the verge of an exit.
Oxlade-Chamberlain days away from Besiktas exit
According to The Sun (6 August), the 31-year-old looks set to finally get his move away from Besiktas.
He has been in talks with the club for over a month about a deal after he became a free agent in July when they terminated his contract.
Despite that, the English midfielder has continued to train with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first team in Istanbul.
The Champions League winner with Liverpool could finalise his permanent move away from Besiktas within the next few days.
Leeds want to sign Chamberlain amid the uncertainties surrounding his future.
Rabona journalist Firat Gunayer reported on 9 June that the Whites had even made an offer to secure his services.
Daniel Farke can use Oxlade-Chamberlain as a utility player at Leeds United
Daniel Farke will be delighted by the prospect of signing Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer.
The German can deploy him as a versatile utility player at Leeds, capitalising on his experience and adaptability to enhance the squad’s Premier League campaign.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Arsenal | 198 | 20 | 28 |
| Liverpool | 146 | 18 | 14 |
| Besiktas | 50 | 5 | 1 |
| Southampton | 43 | 10 | 9 |
The 31-year-old, available on a free transfer, can play across midfield, as a winger, or even in attacking roles, offering Farke tactical flexibility.
His 35 England caps and 235 Premier League appearances bring leadership and composure, vital for mentoring young talents.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s dynamism can bolster Leeds’ setup, while his work rate suits Farke’s high-pressing system.
Signing him for free minimises financial risk and his versatility could prove invaluable in rotation, helping Leeds maintain consistency and push for a mid-table finish.
It remains to be seen if the newly-promoted side end up making a move to secure his services.
