Steve Nicol says no reason for Chamberlain to leave Arsenal
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 24, sat down with Gunners chiefs for a round of talks earlier today, with the club desperate to resolve his future.
The winger is currently out of contract at the end of the season along with team-mates Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has already turned down a new deal worth £100,000 a week, and has attracted interest from rival Premier League clubs.
Chelsea are eager to land him before next Thursday's 11pm deadline and the club are considering raising their offer to £35million in order to land the England international.

And according to the Daily Mail, a new contract offer by the Gunners worth £180,000 a week has been proposed to Oxlade-Chamberlain, but he is set to rebuff it.
The north London outfit would loathe to lose the winger on a free transfer next summer, and the Mail add Liverpool are still in the hunt for his signature.
Arsenal of course, travel to face Liverpool at Anfield (4pm), and it remains to be seen whether Oxlade-Chamberlain will start.
When quizzed about the meeting with Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wenger said: “We all have our agendas that are quite busy but we do not publish them.
