Oxlade-Chamberlain move to Leeds could be on the cards as video footage emerges
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is training in England as he looks for a new club after leaving Besiktas in the summer.
Besiktas terminated Oxlade-Chamberlain’s contract in August, despite the midfielder having made 18 appearances for the Black Eagles.
The former England international was reportedly paid around £1.5million for the termination of the final year of his contract.
Leeds reportedly made an offer for Oxlade-Chamberlain before his exit, but a move never materialised.
Sean Longstaff has been superb for Leeds this season, but the midfielder could benefit from the type of support that the former Arsenal man could provide.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain trains at London Colney
Oxlade-Chamberlain started out in the Southampton academy, where he made his breakthrough before being plucked by Arsenal in a deal worth around £15m.
The talent would go on to make nearly 200 appearances for the Gunners, and was handed his England debut.
After six years at the Emirates Stadium, Oxlade-Chamberlain signed for Liverpool in a deal worth around £35m. He would go on to win the Premier League and the Champions League in his five years with the Reds.
But it has come full circle for the midfielder, who was spotted training at London Colney with Arsenal’s Under-21s on Monday.
Hayters TV took to social media to post a video, in which Oxlade-Chamberlain can be seen warming up with Arsenal’s youngsters.
Would Oxlade-Chamberlain improve Leeds United?
Oxlade-Chamberlain would at least provide another body for Daniel Farke‘s midfield, and that would certainly be a benefit to the German.
The former Arsenal man often left the game pass him by last season, however, often failing to leave an impression.
| Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | Super Lig 2024-25 |
| Appearances | 18 |
| Goals | 1 |
| Pass accuracy | 84.9% |
| Chances created | 1 |
| Successful dribbles | 5 |
| Tackles | 16 |
| Duels won | 40 |
His only goal came off the bench against Fenerbahce, winning his side a massive three points in a key matchup.
And perhaps that is the role Oxlade-Chamberlain could play for Leeds, too. The midfielder does have ability, and it could not possibly hurt to introduce fresh legs off the bench.
