Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain edging closer to Arsenal exit and £40million switch to Chelsea

ARSENAL star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is closing in on a £40m switch to Premier League rivals Chelsea.

The England winger has just one-year left on his contract and turned down a fresh £180,000-a-week deal last week.

Arsene Wenger has now given up hope of trying to persuade him to stay and will let him leave the club before deadline day.

Chelsea are hoping to snap-up the 24-year-old in a cut-price deal, with such little time left on his contract.

But the Gunners want between £35m and £40m, as they look to raise much-needed funds for transfers.

Liverpool are also one of the clubs in the race to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain within the coming days.

Blues boss Antonio Conte has already had a £30m bid for the ex-Southampton ace turned down earlier this month.

He is unhappy with his wing-back role and wants to play in central midfield or out wide, where he is more naturally suited.
