Frustrated Ox wants out of Arsenal

Cape Town - Arsenal forward Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, according to press reports.

The 23-year-old is growing increasingly frustrated at the Emirates and wants to join the expected exodus of top players including Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil to make a fresh start at another club, Sky Sports say.

With just 15 months left on his current contract, Oxlade-Chamberlain has not begun negotiations on a new deal, and despite appearing more in the starting XI in recent weeks the forward believes that he needs a new challenge.

The England international was one of the few players to come out of the Gunners’ 5-1 Champions League mauling by Bayern Munich with any credit and has been linked with a number of clubs including Liverpool, Manchester City and United.

He has scored two goals and has provided four assists this season in 22 Premier League appearances, many of them coming from the bench.

The Gunners next face champions Leicester City on Saturday in an English Premiership clash at the Emirates Stadium and will be looking to move forward from recent bad results.

Kick off is at 17:00.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
