Leeds United given Oxlade-Chamberlain transfer boost in new update
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could make a return to the Premier League with Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
The Besiktas midfielder is wanted at Elland Road, with the 31-year-old also keen on signing for the Whites in the coming weeks.
Daniel Farke signed Joe Rothwell on loan from Bournemouth last summer, and he won’t be part of the West Yorkshire outfit’s squad unless they make another approach for him.
The Peacocks should look to add Premier League experience to their squad after winning promotion from the Championship, and they have received a boost in their pursuit of the Englishman with 35 caps for the Three Lions.
Besiktas want to get rid of Oxlade-Chamberlain amid Leeds United transfer interest
Besiktas want to get rid of Oxlade-Chamberlain amid interest from Leeds due to his salary burden, according to Haber7.
The news outlet reports (10 June) that the Turkish outfit are willing to facilitate the 31-year-old’s transfer to Elland Road to get him off their books.

It’s been claimed that the Whites have already made an offer to the Englishman, and he’s keen on returning to England.
With the West Yorkshire outfit set to face the challenges of the Premier League next season, they’ll arguably need quality in depth to cope.
49ers Enterprises to build competitive team at Elland Road for Farke
Paraag Marathe has publicly backed Farke, and the summer transfer window is the time for the Leeds hierarchy to show how much confidence they have in him.
It wouldn’t make sense to give the German manager a squad incapable of avoiding immediate relegation from the Premier League after investing so much time in him.
49ers Enterprises must be willing to spend at Elland Road this summer if they have ambitions of re-establishing the Whites in the top flight.
Leeds should learn from the mistakes of Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town, who will be playing Championship football once again after failing to invest in quality players.
The West Yorkshire outfit had to sign Josuha Guilavogui mid-way through the season in October due to a lack of options in the middle of the park after injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.
Farke should demand a much stronger squad for the upcoming campaign, as the Whites undoubtedly can’t leave themselves weak in any department if they hope to survive relegation.
Oxlade-Chamberlain might not be an exciting addition for the Elland Road faithful, but he could surely be a decent option for the German manager to have on the bench.
Only time will tell whether a move for the former Arsenal and Liverpool ace materialises.
