The 24-year-old swapped Arsenal for Liverpool in a £40 million move today.
Ian Wright has congratulated Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on his move from Arsenal to Liverpool.
The 24-year-old ended his six-year Arsenal career today by joining Liverpool in a £40 million deal.
The England international, who scored nine goals for the Gunners in some 140 Premier League games, snubbed a move to Chelsea – and the promise of bigger wages – in order to pursue a central midfield role at Anfield, which the Reds had offered him.
Plenty of fans of the North London club won’t like Oxlade-Chamberlain’s decision, but legendary Gunner Wright appears to have given his blessing over the transfer.
Nobody can fault Oxlade-Chamberlain’s ambition, with the former Southampton youth also snubbing a £180k-a-week contract extension to stay at the Emirates, as reported by The Telegraph.
Things don’t look great for Arsenal at the minute, with Alexis Sanchez also heavily expected to quit Arsene Wenger’s side for Manchester City before tonight’s deadline.
