Arsenal attacker Rejects move to Chelsea – Wants Liverpool

According to The BBC, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has turned down the opportunity to join Premier League Champions Chelsea and instead wants a move to Premier League rivals Liverpool.

The highly popular player among Arsenal faithfuls disappointed lot of fans on Sunday as more than a few were turned off at Anfield.

The attacker’s performance at Anfield on Sunday was hardly the best he outing he has had for the Emirate club, and it looks like we now know the reason why.

The Ox has been heavily linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge in the past week with speculations of a £40 million bid being accepted by the Gunners.

Now, it looks like the former Southampton star has turned down the opportunity to join Chelsea and instead favours a move to Liverpool as it would likely give him a better chance of playing in his favoured central midfield role.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is keen on the versatile midfielder, but his Arsenal counterpart is currently refusing to cash in on him to Liverpool because their bid was £5 million less than Chelsea’s offer.

The Reds have now reportedly made direct contact to attempt and seal a deal with the Gunners looking for them to equal Chelsea’s bid.
