Arsene Wenger has once again reiterated that he wants Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain to repay the confidence and faith Arsenal have
placed on him since he arrived the club by signing a new contract.
The 24 year old has so far rejected the contract offered to him by the
club. The last of which report says was £125,000 a week contract.
However, it is thought that his refusal to extend his less than one
year contract is borne down to disagreement over his playing position
and not the wages offered to him.
However, Wenger has asserted that his preference is for him to stay.
"I want Alex to stay at the club and to be one of the big players of
the future of this club. He's one of the players this team needs to be
built around in the future. He said in his press conference on
Thursday.
"Personally, I want him to commit to the club and to be one of the
carriers of the values of our team."
"I want to keep my best players, I just told you. I have only one
target and that's to keep everybody on board. We invested a lot of
time and confidence and money in players like Alex Chamberlain who we
bought at a young age."
"For me, they have a responsibility for the future of this club. Alex
Chamberlain will be one of the big English players in the coming years
and I personally am highly determined to keep him here at the club. I
hope he will commit."
