Arsenal’s £35m Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain decision pays off as Edu given blueprint for sale success

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left Arsenal in 2017 for a club-record sale in the region of £35 million to Liverpool amid interest from Chelsea. Despite winning both the Premier League and Champions League, the former Gunners youngster signed from Southampton as a teenager will see his time at Anfield end this summer.

This is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims the former Arsenal man will be allowed to leave on a free transfer this summer. Injury issues have stunted his progression at the side he dreamt of playing for and that fuelled the reasons behind rejecting a contract extension in north London, as well as a switch to Stamford Bridge.

The sale, despite his medals on Merseyside, has been as a huge success at Arsenal. Along with Alex Iwobi, Arsenal have seen two young players sell for upwards of £30 million and yet neither has left them regretting the decision.
