Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain set to be offered stunning £100,000-a-week deal to commit his future at Arsenal
England international's current contract expires in the summer of 2018
ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN looks set to be offered a stunning £100,000-a-week deal at Arsenal.
Boss Arsene Wenger is keen to tie the England international down on a long-term deal with his current contract expiring in the summer of 2018.
Chamberlain’s form and injury record has been questionable during his time with the Gunners but he produced an impressive showing in Arsenal’s 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City on Sunday.
But Wenger believes the 23-year-old will go from strength to strength and is prepared to offer him a six figure sum to ensure he commits his future to the club
Chamberlain has been linked with rival moves to Liverpool and Manchester United.
It is also believed he has grown discontent with life at Arsenal following their poor Premier League and Champions League campaign.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s versatility in midfield and the fact he fits in the English quota of players make him an attractive proposal to Premier League rivals.
Mesut Ozil is currently the club’s highest earner on £140,000-a-week and his team-mate could be the latest player to pen a six figure contract.
And he looks set to hand Arsenal a timely boost from injury after he took part in training on Tuesday.
The England international left Wembley on crutches after sustaining a foot injury during Arsenal’s FA Cup win.
The midfielder eased fears that his injury wasn’t as bad as predicted when he posted videos to social media of him playing mini golf with his girlfriend.
The Gunners take on Leicester at the Emirates on Wednesday hoping to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive.
