Leicester City are claimed to be eyeing a move to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal this summer.
The 22 year-old has come under fire this season, having failed to impress on the pitch between picking up injuries, and has been linked with the exit door.
Arsenal are believed to be willing to sell the former Southampton product, and Gunners fans have also made it clear that the majority would be keen to see the back of him, but I don’t approve.
The Ox has struggled with injury this term, and I believe he has struggled to get going, but he has shown he is capable of better previously, and I also believe that missing the entire pre-season schedule can play a huge part in a players struggles.
Lets not forget that the midfielder is only 22 years-old (I know it feels like he should be 27), and is still only in the early stages of his career.
I have said it before, and I am saying it again, I would love for Chamberlain to go out on loan for a season and find some form, as I’m certain he will prove himself if given a full year at another club.
Admittedly, Alex will have his work cut-out to break into the Arsenal in the future, with Alex Iwobi having added to the list of players ahead of him in the pecking order, but I still don’t think it is time to cut our losses just yet.
Leicester City are looking to bring experience to their side, with their first ever Champions League campaign coming up next term, as well as an attempt to defend their first ever Premier League title win.
Should we simply sell the Ox, do you favour a loan deal, or should we simply sell with a buy-back option included?
