Who is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain … and why is Arsene Wenger feeling blue and seeing red?

There's never a dull moment when it comes to the English Premier League.

ARSENAL Football Club has not exactly gotten off to its best start ever in English Premier League history, getting smashed 4-0 by Liverpool at Anfield last Sunday.

Now, according to reports in the media, it seems that winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (24) is leaving.

Losing someone who is an England international is probably not what beleagured coach Arsene Wenger needed at this moment.

What makes matters even worse, you could argue, is that he is reportedly heading to London rivals Chelsea.

According to reports in The Independent, Chelsea will pay £35-million pounds.

Interestingly, in a late twist, there are rumours that Liverpool may also be interested in signing him, following repeated rejections for bids on Frenchman Thomas Lemar from Monaco.

Liverpool has already sealed a club record deal of £48million to sign Naby Keita, who will move to Anfield next summer.

The transfer window closes on Thursday.
