Oxlade-Chamberlain decides to leave as Leeds United launch offer
Leeds United are reportedly in hot pursuit of former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The 35-cap England international spent over a decade in the Premier League before moving to Turkey.
He’s currently plying his trade at Besiktas and his contract there runs out in June 2026.
Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to leave amid Elland Road links
The Whites are wasting no time as they look to strengthen their side for the Premier League next season.
Daniel Farke has had two bad seasons with Norwich post-promotion and is keen on avoiding a third one.
It’s clear that Leeds want to bring in a new midfielder in the summer transfer window and have turned to Oxlade-Chamberlain.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 198 | 20 | 28 |
| Liverpool | 146 | 18 | 14 |
| Besiktas | 50 | 5 | 1 |
| Southampton | 43 | 10 | 9 |
According to Rabona journalist Firat Gunayer, the Whites have made an offer for the 31-year-old and he’s open to leaving.
The Englishman won the Champions League and Premier League at Liverpool and won the Turkish Cup and Super Cup recently with Besiktas.
Leeds United could benefit from signing him on a two-year contract
Leeds United signing Oxlade-Chamberlain on a two-year contract is a strategic move that bolsters their squad with proven quality and experience.
At 31, the 35-cap England international brings a wealth of Premier League and Champions League pedigree, having won the Premier League and Champions League with Liverpool, alongside three FA Cups with Arsenal.
His versatility in midfield, combined with his leadership and professionalism, makes him an invaluable asset for a Leeds United side aiming to secure promotion or avoid relegation.
Despite recent injury concerns, his limited absences this season suggest improved fitness, offering reliability in a demanding campaign.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s ability to deliver in high-stakes matches, can provide the difference-making quality the Elland Road outfit need to stay competitive.
His experience in top-flight survival battles, notably with Arsenal and Liverpool, equips him to guide younger players, ensuring Leeds maintain their Premier League status.
It remains to be seen how much the opening offer is from the West Yorkshire outfit and whether or not it satisfies the Turkish club into selling him.
