Although the main news constantly revolves around discussions about the future of Alex Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, next summer will see the end of another London "Arsenal" football player's contract. It's the versatile Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The English player, who had a great season, caught the attention of London "Chelsea", who, taking advantage of this, demanded a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds from the "Gunners," as revealed by Goal.com sources.
While Arsenal wants to keep him, the club is not willing to fully comply with these demands, and the "aristocrats" continue to hope to attract the player, who is celebrating his 24th birthday today, into their ranks.
It is believed that they would have to pay at least 35 million pounds to acquire Oxlade-Chamberlain, a figure that is being discussed in the English media.
Chelsea currently needs reinforcements, as Tiemoue Bakayoko and Eden Hazard are still not fully recovered from injuries, and Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill will be suspended against Tottenham due to accumulated red cards. Additionally, Diego Costa is currently in Brazil.
