Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Leave Arsenal Again as Celtic Transfer Confirmed - The Mirror

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, a 32-year-old free agent, is close to signing a short-term deal with Celtic to boost their Premiership title challenge despite missing Europa League registration.

  • On Friday, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will travel to Glasgow to complete the move after medical checks began, with reports saying the 32-year-old is close to agreeing a deal.
  • Celtic pushed to add the free agent, with Martin O'Neill contacting the midfielder at the weekend despite the January window closing.
  • The 32-year-old has been out of action since last May and lacks match fitness but has trained with Arsenal in recent months after leaving Besiktas.
  • With the Europa League registration deadline approaching, the deal remained unagreed and UEFA regulations limit Celtic to three squad changes despite five January signings.
  • Negotiators stalled on deal length after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's camp sought an extension option, while Celtic also considered fellow free agent Tiemoue Bakayoko.
