Leeds United is engaged in a three-way battle for the signature of Oxlade-Chamberlain in a transfer sensation.
The 31-year-old Oxlade-Chamberlain, a 35-time England international,
is currently playing for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s new team in Turkey,
Besiktas, for the last 18 months of his SuperLig contract. In reality,
Oxlade-Chamberlain has only made six appearances for Besiktas this season.
On Sunday, Solskjaer gave Oxlade-Chamberlain his second start
of the season because he is interested in seeing what Leeds,
along with Premier League teams Wolves and Leicester City,
are vying for Oxlade-Chamberlain. However, it appears that he is keen to get back to
England before the January transfer window closes.
As Milner points out, despite his problems in Turkey, he is the kind of attacking spark Leeds needs in
His ability to locate space and take the ball to opponents makes him an excellent choice for the offensive midfield position.
Brenden Aaronson is good, yet he is inconsistent and lacks competition. Leeds needs a number 10, and Farke has indicated that Oxlade-Chamberlain could be the spark behind a striker in the Championship.
A move like that has its challenges. His salary in Turkey is probably going to be high, and his injury history must obviously be considered, but Oxlade-Chamberlain’s skill and adaptability might be very important.
