London "Chelsea" is close to signing a contract with the player, "Arsenal" Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

It should be noted that the player was hunting for a very long time, "Liverpool", but apparently the neighbors of the "Gunners" in the city ahead of the "Merseyside" in the struggle for the 24-year-old player.

According to the authoritative edition of Sky Sports, the "blue" are determined to give Oxlade-Chamberlain 35 million pounds, and this despite the fact that the current player's contract is calculated until mid-2018.

Recall that Oxlade-Chamberlain moved to the Arsene Wenger team in the summer of 2011 from Southampton for 12.5 million pounds.

Last season, the player spent 29 fights in the championship of England, in which he managed to excel with 2 goals and 7 assists.
