Chelsea have put their foot on the peddle and have launched a series of bids for some of the best talents in the Premier League. And one such player is Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The 24-year-old has entered the final 12 months of his current contract at the Emirates and he has already informed Arsenal that he will not be signing a new deal. And it is being reported that Chelsea want to bring him onboard before the transfer window comes to a close next Thursday. Chamberlain is scheduled to have a meeting with Arsene Wenger this week and Chelsea are hoping that the player will speak to the Arsenal boss about his desire to move to Stamford Bridge.
Arsene Wenger has gone on record to state that Chamberlain is a fine talent and remains a vital piece in the Arsenal jigsaw. But the Frenchman knows very well that if he does not let the 24-year-old leave this summer then he will have to let go of Oxlade-Chamberlain for free come the next summer window.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has said that he wishes to make a few more signing before Thursday and by the looks of it the Italian is trying his hands at almost every player who might be available in the market.
