Chelsea have agreed a £35m deal for Arsenal midfielder Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain.
The 24 year old rejected a new contract from Arsenal last week. And
with just a year left in his contract, the club has decided to cash in
on him.
He would become the first Arsenal player to move to Chelsea since
Ashley Cole in August, 2006.
This transfer would bring to an end his six year association with
Arsenal. Having joined the club from Southampton in 2011.
During that time, he made a total of 198 appearances, the last of
which was the 4-0 defeat against Liverpool on Sunday.
His total goal haul for Arsenal was nine goals.
The England international divided opinion during his time at the club
for his inconsistent performances and his injury records.
With last season being the only time he had a sustained run in the
side which culminated in a FA Cup final appearance against Chelsea in
May.
His time at Arsenal earned him three FA Cups. With all three coming in
the last four years.
