Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain becomes the latest star to attract interest from Saudi Pro League
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain becomes the latest star to spark interest from Saudi Arabia as he ponders his next move after leaving Liverpool
- Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a free agent after being released by Liverpool
- The 29-year-old is now being chased by parties in the Saudi Pro League
- Players like N’Golo Kante and Ruben Neves have already joined the league
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest high-profile player to be pursued by the Saudi Pro League.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 29, is a free agent released by Liverpool after six seasons and would be the first England international to play in Saudi Arabia if he accepts their offer.
The former Southampton and Arsenal midfielder, who won the Premier League during his spell at Anfield, is unsure whether to take this lucrative opportunity or continue pursuing a career in Europe.
The Saudis are investing heavily in talent and Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and N’Golo Kante have already left the Premier League to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Gulf.
Oxlade-Chamberlain would be seen as a coup for the Saudis due to his 35 caps in England and his large social media presence.
He scored 18 goals in 146 appearances for The Reds following a £35 million move from Arsenal in 2017, overcoming injuries along the way.
