Fans fear for Perrie Edwards’ relationship with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as footballer signs to Liverpool
The couple currently both live near London but Alex will now have to move hundreds of miles away for the beautiful game
PERRIE Edwards’ fans have expressed concern about her relationship with boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after he signed a five year deal with Liverpool Football Club.
The 24-year-old sports star announced he was leaving London based team Arsenal today and moving hundreds of miles away to Liverpool, after signing a £40million contract.
The career move means he will be separated from his Little Mix girlfriend during most of the week and the weekends.
Perrie,24, has been dating Alex since November 2016 and last year she purchased a £1million four-bedroom bungalow in Surrey, which was close to Alex when he was with the North London team.
It was thought he was going to sign with another London team – Chelsea – but he held out in order to go with Liverpool.
He has taken a pay cut to make the move after rejecting a new deal worth £180,000 a week at the Emirates .
Perrie is yet to publicly speak about his move but she has liked a number of posts on Instagram relating to his transfer.
The news has no doubt come as a bit of blow for the star though as just a couple of weeks ago she told fans she wished she could wake up next to Alex every day.
Sharing a picture of him in bed on his birthday, she wrote: “Happy birthday my love. 24! If I can wake up to this for the rest of my life that would be wonderful! 🙌🏻”
Alex’s decision has left some Little Mix fans worried about their future.
One wrote: “wonder how perrie’s gonna cope… she sold her house and all to live with alex in london and she can’t move to liverpool bc of lm.”
They added: “And she also doesn’t like long distance relationships but they’ve prob got something figured out since he asked for liverpool.”
Another joked: “Breaking: Perrie Edwards ends her relationship with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin because she can’t face living in Liverpool.”
And someone else posted a gif of Perrie looking unimpressed alongside which they wrote: “Perrie Edwards face when she finds out she has to move from London to Liverpool… #DeadlineDay #OxladeChamberlain #LittleMix #TransferNews.”
Others questioned if it means that Perrie, who is from South Shields, will now be moving too, with one writing: “Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at Liverpool.. so that means Perrie will move to Liverpool as well ? #alerrie.”
Perrie’s rep declined to comment when approached by The Sun Online.
