Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to snub a new and improved offer at the club, amid interest from both Chelsea and Liverpool.
The versatile midfielder has been linked with a move away from the club in the near future, and it looks as though he is not ready to commit his long-term future to the Gunners.
Reports stated recently that Arsenal had put on the table a four-year contract extension for Oxlade-Chamberlain, with a significant pay rise included in the deal. It’s claimed by the Telegraph, though, that the England international is unlikely to accept the new £100,000-a-week offer.
Chelsea and Liverpool have been cited with interest in Oxlade-Chamberlain over the last few months, and are sure to be keeping a close eye on the midfielder’s hesitation in penning a new deal at the Emirates.
It’s been reported that Oxlade-Chamberlain is keen to establish himself as a central midfielder, but Arsene Wenger has been predominantly utilising him as a wing-back in recent times.
Antonio Conte has reportedly identified the former Southampton man as a genuine target this summer, and with the Italian targeting a new central midfielder, Oxlade-Chamberlain may be enthused by the prospect of playing for the Blues.
