The Express claiming were in a battle with Leicester for Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain's signature.
I rated him highly when he first broke through, thought he looked a real star in the making but just hasn't progressed as well as a lot of people expected. There was a time Wenger even tried moulding him in the 10 role but then bought Ozil so I'm not sure if it's Wenger's tinkering, the lad's injuries or what has stalled his career but he certainly could do with a move.
For the kind of money they'd want I don't think he's worth the gamble, if we were filling squad places then I think he might still progress but we're after starters and I don't think we could take that chance.
