Oxlade-Chamberlain’s time at Arsenal was marked by both promise and infuriating setbacks. While he showed his skill and ability when he was on the pitch, his career was plagued by numerous injuries, including four serious knee injuries in his final four seasons in London.
His departure from Arsenal to Liverpool in 2017 for £35 million was met with mixed reactions. Some felt he hadn’t been given enough opportunities at Arsenal, while others pointed to his injury history as a reason for his inconsistent performances.
After a mixed spell at Liverpool, where his injury problems continued, Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Besiktas on a free transfer last summer.
However, injuries continued to hinder his career, limiting him to just four goals and one assist in 30 appearances after picking up a thigh injury around Christmas that kept him out until April.
Earlier this month, reports from Turkish outlet Hurriyet suggested that Besiktas may not retain Oxlade-Chamberlain next season, with Sheffield United and Southampton reportedly interested in securing his services.
Now, it is being reported that Oxlade-Chamberlain is one of nine players put up for sale by the club. The others are Vincent Aboubakar, Jean Onana, Valentin Rosier, Omar Colley, Daniel Amartey, Javi Montero, Arthur Masuaku, Ersin Destanoğlu, and Ante Rebic’i.
Turning 31 in August, Oxlade-Chamberlain currently has two years left on his current deal and is valued at €4.2m.
