Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks set to join Chelsea

Oxlade-Chamberlain is currently on international duty with England.

But it’s suggested his medical could be carried out at England’s training centre.

Oxlade-Chamberlain is now set to discuss personal terms. Starsport understand Chelsea are willing to pay the player around £200,000-a-week.

The former Southampton star has turned down a new contract at Arsenal and is vying for an exit.

Liverpool have also been sniffing around - but the Blues look to have won the race.

The versatile winger struggled as Arsenal were battered 4-0 by Liverpool yesterday.

And former Arsenal player turned pundit Charlie Nicholas is adamant that Oxlade-Chamberlain needs to be sold.

Nicholas told Sky Sports: “He knocked back £180,000-a-week because he doesn’t want to be there, that’s what he’s telling you.

“’I don’t want to be here, I want to go somewhere else’. Well my friend, sold.

"That would be my method, you’re sold. Go and get a transfer, we’ll take the money.

“He’s a fabulous potential talent and I don’t want to lose him, but he doesn’t want to be there.

“He must earn the right to get in the team. Surely he must know himself ‘I’m not going to get in this team’.

“When he sees people like [Aaron] Ramsey back in the team and then he sees [Granit] Xhaka coming in and [Mohamed] Elneny coming in and [Francis] Coquelin back in the team, all in front of him, would that not raise something in your mind to say ‘why are they signing them and I’m not getting to play the central midfield role?’”

Oxlade-Chamberlain has played 130 games for Arsenal, scoring nine goals.

He's been utilised primarily in wide roles by Arsene Wenger, though.

The 24-year-old is desperate to establish himself as a central midfielder.
