Oxlade-Chamberlain considers leaving club in the summer

One Arsenal man rumoured to be heading for the exit door is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The England international had been receiving plenty of criticism before he suffered ligament damage in the first leg of the last 16 in the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona.

According to Transfer Market Web, the 22-year-old is unhappy with his current position in the first team, only playing a bit-part role despite having been at the club for almost five years.

West Ham have been rumoured suitors of the winger, with Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea also thought to be keen.

The Ox has seen little starting action in his time at the Emirates, only making ten starts in Arsenal’s 28 Premier League games this season, regularly finding himself low down the pecking order behind the likes of Joel Campbell and Aaron Ramsey in his favoured right-wing positions.

His goal a month ago against Bournemouth was the Englishman’s first in the Premier League for 16 months, as well as being his first ever away goal for the Gunners in almost five seasons.

This seeming lack of development and recent string of poor performances has led to a lot of criticism for the Ox, and has further reduced the chances of him improving his status as a bit-part player.
