ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN looks set to leave Arsenal with the midfield ace no closer to signing a new deal.
The Ox is on the Gunners' pre-season tour in Australia after demanding assurances about his first-team future.
And claim that the chances of the Gunners midfielder penning a new contract are "virtually zero".
