Former Liverpool player becomes the latest star to attract interest from Saudi Pro League
The Saudi Pro League seems to have set its sights on another high-profile player, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being the latest target. The 29-year-old midfielder is currently a free agent after being released by Liverpool, where he spent a successful six seasons. If he accepts the offer from the Saudi league, Oxlade-Chamberlain would become the first England international to play in Saudi Arabia.
Having previously played for Southampton and Arsenal, Oxlade-Chamberlain's time at Liverpool saw him achieve significant success, including winning the Premier League title. However, he now finds himself at a crossroads in his career, torn between the allure of a lucrative opportunity in Saudi Arabia and his desire to continue pursuing a career in Europe.
The Saudi Pro League has been making substantial investments in acquiring talented players, and several notable names have already made the move from the Premier League to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Gulf. Players such as Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, and N'Golo Kante have all departed England to seek new opportunities in Saudi Arabia.
For the Saudis, securing the signature of Oxlade-Chamberlain would be considered a significant coup. His 35 appearances for the England national team and substantial social media following make him an attractive prospect. Throughout his time at Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain scored 18 goals in 146 games, following his £35 million transfer from Arsenal in 2017. Despite facing various injury setbacks along the way, he has remained a highly regarded player.
As Oxlade-Chamberlain contemplates his next move, he must weigh the financial incentives offered by the Saudi Pro League against his ambition to continue his career in Europe. The decision he makes will undoubtedly have an impact on his future and shape the trajectory of his footballing journey he showed some promise in the past seasons.
